Vanilla Orange French Toast

This past weekend was my good friend LAuren's birthday and since we are roommates I got to create and make this AMAZING breakfast dish for everyone on a Saturday morning!  My inspiration came from a medium sized tube of orange vanilla sherbet my husband and I bought at the market!  The recipe is very easy and only takes about 20 minutes.  It was definitely a morning filled with "yums" and "oh my gosh, this is so good".  I would imagine this recipe would be pretty popular with kiddies as well, so please enjoy! This recipe will serve 4 people.
