Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Instructions:

  • In a shallow dish, beat together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a baking sheet or serving platter in the oven. In a skillet, or on a griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat and spread over cooking surface.
  • Add half of the bread slices and cook for 4-6 minutes or until golden, turning once. To keep the toast warm, transfer to the oven.
  • Repeat with remaining butter and bread slices.
  • Serve with additional butter, maple syrups, bananas, blueberries and powdered sugar.

Happy Monday!
