Now that Labor Day is behind us, I am ready to dive into ALL THE FALL THINGS!  Chillier weather, crispy leaves, warm toned colors, and of course, the food. One of the best things for me this time of year are the fall foods. Apples and pumpkins and pears, oh my! There's a few pear trees on public property a few blocks from my house that nobody seems to know about. Or if they do, they don't take advantage because we usually find quite a few on the ground before we get there. Deer and bunny food it turns into, I suppose. Allison and I like to go pick pears from the trees once a year then come home and think of all of the yummy goodies we're going to make with our bounty. This week, as it seems that the second wave of kids are headed back to school, I thought I would share a fantastic breakfast recipe to get the kids motivated to start their day off right. This Pear and Pecan French Toast, a Golden Blossom Honey recipe, is the most perfect seasonal breakfast boasting of all the goodness of autumn in every bite. 

 

In the summertime, Jason makes me strawberry and cream cheese french toast often, which is really good, but I'd take this recipe over that any day of the week. This is a fairly quick recipe to toss together, especially if your bread is already sliced straight from the bakery. If you're looking to make even quicker work of this dish for busy school mornings, slice and peel the pears the night before, toss them in a little lemon juice, then refrigerate overnight.  You can even get the bag of chopped pecans to save time on that step as well. The topping can work on other dishes too, from pancakes, to oatmeal, to ice cream, and it's out of this world delish, I wouldn't judge you for eating it all before it even has the chance to top another food. If I ask you to save one recipe to try this fall, it has to be this one. I promise, you're going to love it!
