#FoodieFriday Ice Cream Bread French Toast
My husband and I enjoy watching a few YouTubers make delicious food, and recently Emmy of EmmyEats tried an “ice cream bread” recipe.

Technically, the kids have been out of school for about three weeks now, but this summer vacation is especially welcomed after the chaos of the 2019-2020 school year. With about two months to spare, schools shuttered for the duration to help flatten the curve, leaving kids slightly confused about the next steps. It’s not easy when you’re young and don’t…
