MeMe's Recipes | French Toast Casserole

[@karensweet6530]

I have always carried on my Family Traditions from our Family growing up. We had a very large family of 11 counting my Daddy and Mama. 9 kids was a handful back then and Mama always had so much to do. Growing up in the 50's and 60's, we didn't have no money but we always had gifts under the tree. Daddy was disabled but still had to work and He drove a wrecker for a service stations and worked on small engines. Mama took in extra ironing as if she didn't have enough already to do. We always loved the fruit, nuts, and peppermint we got in our stocking, but the smell and taste of the Food they prepared and the sweets they baked and Our family all being together was the most joyful time in the world to us. That what my family does for each other now. We all prepare, cook and bake special foods and sweets, deserts and put into baskets or dishes, bowls with special little kitchen utensil that that person needed or wanted and give to each other! My one Granddaughter makes beautiful Christmas Oraments and everybody gets one. They are not cheap made either. She's amazing! All my Grandkids are grown and we do for each other but with 5 Great Grandbabies all the attention is for them! They got a few learning toys but, the treasures they got were amazing. My Son and Grandson does woodwork and they made everyone a stand for their Bibles! Another Granddaughter makes Angels... They are so Beautiful! I have so many talented children's and grandchildren the Lord has Blessed me with! I'm so Happy and Blessed to have such a Good, wholesome, Joyful, Beautiful Family! I'm so Wonderfully Blessed! Traditions Wil l carry on in my Family long after I'm gone! I have such Wonderful Memories and so does my family! I'm so sorry to have such a long comment but sometimes I get carried away! I have made this wonderful Dish for alot of years for my family Miss Meme! Thank you for Loving our Lord Jesus and Smiling for Jesus! God Bless you...🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

[@memesrecipessc]

Such wonderful memories of family and time spent together!❤️

[@barbarajohnson6900]

Vanilla and brown sugar would take it to the next level

[@kateg7298]

I was thinking the same thing

[@michelebegor4191]

I use them too.

[@sushicourier]

I added some nutmeg as well. 😋

[@Inam10]

I put honey instead of syrup.

[@kjm4939]

Meme, thank you again. My condolences to your friends. God bless you and your family.

[@tbirdhomer]

I always smile when you say shine for Jesus😊

[@jennysurfer6516]

I’m so happy I found you as you are a southern charm. My family gathered at my parents house every Christmas Eve morning and this brings back beautiful memories. I miss my mom every day. God bless you

[@memesrecipessc]

I’ll have to consult my technology department.🤣

[@richardengelhardt582]

Definitely, a good Christmas morning recipe. In Minnesota we have a slightly French-Canadian version. Actually very similar to MeMe's foolproof recipe. We use maple syrup on the botyom of the casserole; add 2 T vanilla, 1/4 cup bourbon, a sprinkle of freshly grately nutmeg, and 1/2 of brown sugar to the liquid. Can remove crusts from bread if your smaller children prefer. Might need more milk (half and half) if there is not enough liquid in the casserole dish to soak all the bread thoroughly. Essential to refrigerate long enough (so overnight). Dot with a little softened butter just before baking to enhance browning. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Can serve with butter, jam and jelly, or maple syrup. Adults tend to like it plain without any extra sweeteners.

[@memesrecipessc]

Yum!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Sounds delightful!

[@aliwehr561]

We have a similar tradition. It's French Toast Strata. It includes lumps of cream cheese. YUM!I love traditions!

[@michellebryant4730]

You are so sweet!

[@rixiegirl11]

This looks so delicious 😋 God Bless you. You are so sweet and generous to your your family and neighbors. I enjoy your videos so much. And I love saying "Shine for Jesus" with you. God bless you. ❤🙏❤️

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much

[@pamasbery5372]

My word! I didn’t know that you could buy green Karo syrup anywhere!

[@pamasbery5372]

I don’t think MO has it anywhere.

[@luciabriseno4065]

Ohh YUMMM 😋👩🏼‍🍳👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@lindabuck2777]

It just always tickles me when i see other comments from cooks about what to add or not, but must admit, i TOO jump to do that! Well, i learned my lesson and god humbled me to ‘stifle’ my mouth and LISTEN lol. Any and all of us can make it comfortable for our family, at any point add or take away and substitute if necessary. Your recipes are totally the easiest out if many recipe channels i watch! Someone young and starting out can truly benefit from your tutorials, MeMe-you ARE the world, you ALONE make a difference, your rudder is straight working well with Jesus as your guide, your resolve, calm loving demeanor makes all enjoy every ‘little’ thing you do. Anyone watching thats young needs help in starting to learn, gets wisdom and love too! Your family is wondrous and that precious Collin had me chuckling ho ho ho-too cute! MeMe you are a blessing and i thank you for all you do! 🙏🏻❤️

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!!

[@sarasmith99]

Collins is adorable! You have a nice family. ❤

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you!! 😊

[@janfitzgerald3615]

Walmart should have both Great Value and Sarah Lee Texas toast in the sliced bread section. At my Walmart we only have the Great Value brand, so maybe Sarah Lee is distributed more to stores in the Midwest or Eastern part of the country.

[@samanthaknudson3084]

MeMe, I love your "stick of butter"!😋 I know EXACTLY what you mean. I bet french bread is even better than Texas toast. I plan on sourdough for mine. Great recipe. Can't wait to try it on my Thanksgiving weekend crowd. 😊

[@memesrecipessc]

Hope you enjoy!!🙂😋

[@kathleenstoin671]

This recipe looks wonderful, and it will be perfect for the visit of my son and his wife and my 6 year old granddaughter next month. I plan to have that along with bacon, saussge, and a bowl of scrambled eggs. Coffee and orange juice, too, and maybe some fruit salad.

[@memesrecipessc]

Wonderful!

[@Barrycrap]

Hi! I'm from London England. we have a similar thing but we call it 'bread and butter pudding'. we have it with ice-cream, custard or cream. It's a good way to use up bread that's about to go stale. looks delicious. Love your channel. i just found you. xx

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much for tuning in. I also have a recipe for bread pudding! My family loves both!

[@kathleenstoin671]

We make bread pudding here in the US too, but French toast casserole isn't really the same thing. Both are delicious, though.

[@deewinston5651]

Thank you for sharing. I think my grandchildren would love this. God bless you MeMe.❤️✝️

[@memesrecipessc]

You are so welcome

[@trishbresolin8212]

That looks beautiful, and so do you!

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much!

[@anagranata6397]

That Breakfast casserole looks delicious 😋 I can almost smell it ,can't wait to make it ❤️

[@davidgarrett453]

MeMe, I love your videos and recipes. I think of you as a good friend. I will keep praying for your son and whole family. Thank you for all you give us

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much👍🏻🙂❤️🙏🏻

[@beckibarnes917]

MeMe I am really enjoying your videos and your cookbook. Groceries are SO expensive. I'm glad it's only my husband and I that we have to buy for. I don't know how you afford to feed your whole crew! LOL Keep up the good work! Really looking forward to the new coolbook! Have a wonderful day.

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you!!😋🙂❤️

[@kdescossa]

The French toast is much better than Texas toast which is just grocery store bread looks yummy ❤

[@Howiesgirl]

I fall in love with Miss MeMe a little bit more with each & every video she makes. I've got no more "elders" left in my family, & watching Diane's videos makes me feel like a part of a big, wonderful family. Even though I really don't do much cooking, I thoroughly enjoy watching her prepare food for the people she loves. She seems to be a very kind & genuine lady, & I'm so grateful to have found her here on KZbin. I've been binge-watching her videos, trying to get all caught up to her current ones- especially for the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays of 2024. Thanks for all you do MeMe, & thanks for reminding us all to "Shine for Jesus!". Thanks for that extra bit of encouragement, as I'm sure we can all use it from time to time. May you & all your family be greatly blessed. 💕🌻🙏🙏🌻💕

[@memesrecipessc]

Meme, I’m going to make this gluten and dairy free. We will have it Christmas morning 2025. Bless you and your family in the New Year. Love from Canada😘

[@memesrecipessc]

Sounds delicious! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄❤️

[@jeanh.826]

Looks delish! We have a lot of similar recipes. I have a funny story to share. My husbands brother lives in Maui. His wife has a job working for PacWhale. A local company that does Whale Watching tours etc. They had a company picnic and my sister in law was working part of the day, so I offered to make something to take. So i made my Mom's recipe for banana pudding. My sister in law had never had it before nor anybody else there other than my husband and his brother. It makes a big aluminum lasagna pan full. Once the 1st person tried it that was all it took. It was gone in half an hour! One of our friends there who works with my sister in law told me to move to Maui and marry him so i could make it for him lol! My husband told him we would give him the recipe! Thought you'd enjoy that story! Who knew Hawaiians did not know about banana pudding.

[@memesrecipessc]

🤣

[@larryshaver3568]

i don't know if it is still made but there was a plastic wrap called stretch and seal, i used it for many years

[@sushicourier]

What a gorgeous baby boy!😊

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you!!

[@donaldziemer1919]

I finally subscribed to your channel. I've been watching for many months various recipes, that I'm interested in, as they pop up on KZbin. First and foremost thank you for your Christian testimony and sharing your convictions and daily life with your viewers. We moved to NC in 1986 and I love your southern accent. I grew up in Minnesota and have lived in two other countries since we've been married. I would say we are close in age and have experienced the Lord's blessings over the years. We have 7 grandchildren and 1 great grand daughter. When you say "shine for Jesus" it reminds me of the old hymn "Brighten The Corner Where You Are." You are a true southern Christian lady. May God continue to bless and use you for His Kingdom and Glory. I hope to meet you in Heaven when we get there. Keep on shining...

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you so much for that very generous compliment. 🙂❤️🙏🏻

[@donaldziemer1919]

You're very welcome. I didn't expect a replay. Thank you and God bless you and your family.@@memesrecipessc

You are beautiful person, taking care of people

[@memesrecipessc]

Thank you!!🙂❤️

[@dianejohanson98]

I bet this is delicious! I live in Texas and it is difficult to find Texas Toast here too. Actually I make regular French Toast out of French bread. I think it makes way better French Bread!

[@memesrecipessc]

Sounds great!

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤❤

[@kimberlybercume8757]

Doing God's work ❤

[@memesrecipessc]

[@InFltSvc]

No Texas toast! You need a Publix there 😊 I can’t figure out how to find and purchase your cook book ! Can you tell me?

[@memesrecipessc]

www.memesrecipessc.com

[@lindaconnor7294]

Can you do a cook book for 1 - 2 person dishes?

[@memesrecipessc]

Most of these dishes you could half the recipe or, make the dish and freeze the extra for later.

[@madcitywendy]

I would like to know where you shop for your clothes. You are always so stylish.

[@memesrecipessc]

I mostly shop at Talbot's, Chicos, Dillards and Walmart! : )

[@ashnorfolk5034]

Casserole means something else in the UK.

[@SD7024]

I would use Brioche. All the syrup is too sweet for me, so I would reduce the amount, but that's just me. And NO powdered sugar.

[@memesrecipessc]

Make it your own!

[@katie7748]

Isn't brioche a fairly sweet bread though?

[@nataliecheney3177]

That red shirt really fits nicely on you, or you've lost weight.

[@methatlovescats3602]

I don't I've been abandoned by my family actually that's a good thing but I still desire a family. But on any holiday I sit alone with not the kinds of food and company the rest of the world is having. It's a very lonely life I have and no one cares except Jesus. I'm praying for a family and company which hasn't arrived yet. So when I hear about family stuff I click or swipe away.

[@memesrecipessc]

I’m so sorry for your loneliness.❤️🙏🏻

[@sylviarosario6503]

I would add vanilla extract to the mixture and drizzle honey after it comes out of the oven. This is sure too be a crowd pleaser. I enjoy watching your videos🌹

[@memesrecipessc]

Thanks for watching…and by all means, make it your own.😋
