Disclosure:Â I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #BacktoSchoolTreats week recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
This is one of my favorite times of the year – there’s so much anticipation for Fall! While we don’t have kids, I can think back to this time of the year as a kid – the school supply shopping (SO fun!), curiosity about new classes, and really – just the overall excitement of Fall that’s coming soon! My mom used to make it so special for us as kids – I remember picking out our own different color notebooks, zipper pouches, binders, etc. when we would go to the store. I’m sure it was chaotic for my mom – I was one of four kids, but she knew how to make it fun and something to look forward to!
If my husband and I ever get blessed with kids, I’d love to make it special for them like my mom did for me. 🙂 Heck, a recipe like this triple berry overnight french toast would be a delicious breakfast dish to enjoy the first week of school! I love the overnight aspect of it – prep it all the evening before, and bake the french toast the next morning! So awesome! I used Dixie Crystals granulated sugar in this recipe – I love their sugar products! You can typically find their products at Winn-Dixie stores in south Louisiana.
I’m sharing this recipe for #BacktoSchoolTreats week, which I’m super excited to be a part of! I, along with other bloggers, are sharing some amazing treats that are perfect to enjoy for back to school!

My favorite back to school snack would have to be a cheeseboard! We love to cut up cheese and deli meat, along with pickles and olives and grapes. So yummy!
