I can't even begin to explain what tonight's light and sunset looked like.  As I was finishing up a session for a local Chico family, I was in complete awe of the sky.  The weather was a perfect fall evening and the colors, the colors were amazing!  So instead of me trying to tell you what it looked like, I will just share a photo from the canyon rim of God's amazing handy work in motion.  I'm glad I did take these photos posted below, because well since Christmas cards are right around the corner, we can't share their photos JUST yet.  :)  They were adorable and I can't wait to blog about all my Fall and Christmas card sessions when the time comes!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving this next week!

I used whole milk here instead of cream...but I'm sure it would be better with half and half! :)

mix together all of your ingredients...then you're ready for the bread!

Cutting the bread into long slices makes them more like french toast sticks and works great for one year olds!! 

I used my long bar pan from pampered chef, along with my Silpat mat on top of that to keep them from sticking to the pan.

Here is what they look like after having been dipped in the egg mixture and sprinkled with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

my little helper :)

Under the broiler!  This is the tricky part!  2-3 mins under the broiler, you basically want to cook the egg and crystalize the sugar on top. Then flip them and do the other side for 2-3 mins.  She mentioned creme brûlée...which when you think of that totally makes sense.  Thankfully I didn't burn anything!!

...and BOOM!  Success!  

Presentation is everything right :)

These were so yummy!  I will be making these again, it may actually become a holiday breakfast or something along those lines.  Enjoy!!

        I had so much fun getting to work with this little guy and his parents!  I loved his mom's idea to make over a vintage high chair for his session as well!  As hard as it was to leave Indianapolis, getting to finish off my sessions there with this cake smash couldn't have been more perfect!  Happy birthday little man!  Looking forward to seeing you grow through the years! :)
