Fresh Blueberries

one of Darwin's co-workers parents have a blueberry farm in Eugene. Every year I help him sell the Blueberries over here in Burns. Except this year...their crop got some type of fungus and they didn't have a good crop this year which was so unfortunate. However, they love us so much they still brought us a big bag full of the yummy balls as Denver calls them!! One of Darwin's favorite things is blueberry pancakes, I perfer blueberry muffins and have a pan of them in my oven right now! I like this simple recipe because there isn't any cinnamon or nutmeg, it is just blueberry goodness. I've also made this before with a cream cheese frosting that I have drizzled over teh tops while still warm as a glaze. Super yummy!

Conference Breakfast

So for Conference this year we invited friends over for Breakfast and to watch the morning session. My dear friend Michelle makes this fabulous Buttermilk syrup it is SO good and yesterday while I was thinking what to make all I could think of was this syrup! I wanted to make something that would go great with the syrup, so I came up with this stuffed french toast recipe. It sure was yummy!!

Stuffed French Toast

French toast bread
6 eggs
2 T milk
1 1/2 T cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground clove
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 T vanilla

For the Stuffing:
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
sliced strawberries

Combine the french toast ingredients and proceed to dip the bread in the egg mixture and cook on a gridle top. Flip to cook the other side, when cooked set aside. Combine cream cheese, preserves and cinnamon. Combine till well mixed. If the cream cheese isn't soft enough nuke in microwave for 30 seconds. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each piece of french toast. Then top with some sliced strawberries then another piece of frnech toast. Place on a baking sheet and place in a 350` oven for about 5 minutes to heat through. Serve warm with syrup and extra strawberries on top.
