About Dalelene’s recipe:
Having moved to Moose Jaw recently, I welcome the opportunity to share a favorite recipe of mine which was first prize winner in the Prince Albert Daily Hearld Recipe contest.
My husband and I operated the Hillcrest Inn B & B in Prince Albert; Apple French Toast was a much-requested favorite of our guests.
