    I know what you might be thinking. It’s only October 9th. Thanksgiving is seven weeks away, and Christmas? Over two months away! Well, it’s never too early to bookmark some recipes for holiday hosting. Plums and spice (and everything nice) happen to be delicious autumnal flavors, too.

    The inspiration for this recipe came from the most uhhh-mazing French toast I’ve ever had at Ela in the Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia. But really, it was that good. Will and I went back to Philly for a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and visited some family in the process.

    We landed at Ela for Sunday brunch, and MAN, did I have the absolute best breakfast: French toast with spiced plums that were just as tender as they were delightfully sweet.

    I’ve been dreaming about this meal ever since we landed back in Minneapolis. So of course, I had to try to create something like it.

    I picked up some red plums at Trader Joe’s and got to work. Oatmeal happens to be my favorite breakfast on chilly fall mornings, so that’s where my mind went. And boy am I glad it did…
