Good Recipes

I am always on the hunt for a good recipe! Our family LOVES to try new and different foods. I think our favorite food around here is breakfast. We are always having pancakes or waffles for dinner. LOL

I saw this recipe on my Friend Jenn Reed's blog and it sounded so delicious! I just had to try it out. So, I made it for the first day of school and it was a HUGE hit! Michael wasn't' home but he ate half the pan for dinner last night! LOL

Here's the recipe for your family to try:

Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast
