Today I have a quick breakfast recipe that will start your day on an indulgent note: Lemon Blueberry French Toast.
When was the last time you had French Toast? For me it was just about the same time that I stopped sleeping in – 3 years ago. Life before kids can seem so distant but at least I can still enjoy some delicious french toast. The best part of having french toast these days, my kids prefer to eat bacon and regular toast so I have this ALL TO MYSELF!
