I got this baked French toast recipe from my sister in law. She and my brother had it at their gift opening after the wedding. I make it any time we have people staying with us, and it is always a hit. You may sprinkle the top with pecans if you wish.

Lemon Cheesecake Creme Brulee Croissants
These lemon cheesecake creme brulee croissants are filled with a mixture of lemon curd and no-bake lemon cheesecake filling, then glazed with caramelized sugar syrup for that creme brulee crunch.
Paleo Chili
Paleo (eating like our pre-agricultural revolution ancestors ate) chili is made without beans. In the west we typically include beans, but I think even non-paleo eaters will enjoy this deep smoky flavorful chili. This is best made a day ahead so the flavors can meld together. Serve with green onions and sour cream.
