Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole + Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas + Minted Winner

I wanted to share a recipe that I made over the weekend that would be perfect for the upcoming holiday weekend. It was ridiculously good. I first spied this recipe on Pinterest and had been dreaming of making it, so on Saturday morning I did.  It was super easy to whip together, took no more than 10 minutes.  

The cinnamon rolls with the eggs, cream and icing was pure decadence.   This would be great for Christmas morning as well. I made a little extra icing to drizzle over ours just mixing powdered sugar and a little water because we love icing round here.  I feel like the cinnamon roll containers never have enough icing in them!

Enjoy!

My Go to outfit for Thanksgiving Day is always a blouse and jeans.  I rounded up a few of my favorite blouses if you are still looking for the perfect T-Day outfit.  They are all from Shopbop so you can select 2- day shipping and get them by Wednesday!  I own the Free People Blouse in 2 colors.  It is also cute with leggings since it is longer.  I love the colors of the Clover Canyon Blouse as well.
