Incredible Stuffed Blueberry French Toast

You won't believe how easy it is to make this fancy breakfast piece!
First, make french toast.
Most of you know how to do that already but for the beginners:
Beat 2 eggs with a dash of cinnamon until it looks like the picture above.

Dip bread slices (2 eggs is just enough for 4 slices) in the egg mixture. Be sure the egg covers both sides.

Then, coat a frying pan with spray and cook both sides of the bread (until they don't look soggy anymore).

See my new PINK frying pan up there??
We went to Virginia for a weekend and the man insisted on buying it for me to keep at his place- as long as I ALWAYS put it away in the far back corner of the cupboard! lol.

Kitty break!

ok, so here's what your french toast should look like. I made four slices.

Mike forgot to stop and get cream cheese so I had to send him out for it while I was making the toast...

...and he came back with these! and cream cheese.

So now we just need to make the filling.

Wash your blueberries!
Warm up the cream cheese (half a block/4oz) in the microwave. 30 seconds was perfect for mine.

Stir in about 1/4cp confectioner's sugar (more or less depending how sweet you want it) and cinnamon to taste.

Put a bunch of berries on one slice of french toast.

Then spread the cream cheese mixture on the other slice and put them together. mmmmm!

oh! I almost forgot, I sprinkled more of the sugar on top

We took our dads to a car show on the lake for Father's Day where we saw this contraption!

It's a Ranger pickup with among other things, a fish tank in the trunk!!
There are real freakin fish in there!!!!
What?!?!?!

and a dragonfly landed on my arm and hung out there while I walked! Good luck for me, I hope!

The Pancake Experiment: Blueberry Pie Pancakes!!

The Pancake Experiment continues with blueberry pie pancakes!
(This post could also be called "Ice cream for Breakfast")


Step 1: Wash off them berries!!
I don't want you getting sick from making something I posted- that would make me feel really bad..

Step 2: gather all these ingredients and combine them in a large bowl :
1cp blueberries
1cp flour
4TBS rolled oats(the old fashioned kind)
1tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp baking powder
1Tbs sugar
2/3cp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1Tbs oil


Step3: Spray pan with no stick spray and allow pan to heat up before pouring batter onto it.

When you see bubbles form in the batter, it's time to flip them over.

oh MY god, they look so good!

They actually exploded in blueberry-ness when I cut into them with my fork!

Ice Cream goes best with blueberry pie so..

Mike said these just might be his favorite of all the pancakes I've made him so far!

Here he is helping me with dinner.
So sweet. While I was making breakfast, he quietly got out the veggies we needed chopped up for dinner and cut them all up. I hardly had anything left to do when he got done!

I later successfully made biscuits, which is exciting because I (used to rolling out cookies and pie crusts) always roll them out too thin ...and then they don't rise and get poofy ...and we end up with cracker-like biscuits.

But this time I restrained myself AND LOOK!!

Beautiful, poofy biscuits!



The biscuits were so good & we were on a blueberry and ice cream kick so we made blueberry cobbler sundaes complete with cinnamon on top.
