Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it can be served at any time of the day. No one wants meatloaf at the crack of dawn. But, I love that breakfast is the universal meal of your day. So grab a spoon, knife, and fork and prepare for a tasty favorite of delicious French Toast with Apple Cranberry Sauce.
Fun Food Facts:
