Pumpkin Struesel French Toast

Know what would be awesome?  If I could be a size 0 and wear whatever I wanted and look amazing.  I whine about this a lot and my husband hates it.  Then at some point it dawns on me that I have an almost sociopathic fetish for food and I’m all like, “Oh, wait…if I have to eat like a movie star I’ll go fracking insane.”  Which I will.  Just ask my husband.

I’m much happier with a bellyfull of pumpkin and maple syrup.

I mean, isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day?  Or something?

No?  It’s OK.  This makes and great lunch/dinner/snack/pre-WO/post-WO/midnight/3 am/happy hour/whenever kinda deal.
