Do you ever come up with a great idea, only to realize that someone else has already thought of it?  I really, really hate when that happens.  And that is what happened to me when I thought I was so innovative thinking of making French toast out of my banana bread.  But, the good news is that it was a wonderful idea.

I couldn’t tell you the last time that I made, or even, ate French toast; Nate doesn’t like it so much.  But, I had a little banana bread left over, and this super innovative idea (again, or so I thought).  If you know how to make French toast, this will be a cinch.  Use homemade or store-bought banana bread, and you’ll be set to go!
