Lemon-Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with Fresh Blueberries & Syrup

Lemon-Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

I was chatting with my mom on the phone the other day. It was her and my dad’s anniversary and she was telling me all about this wonderful breakfast she had just had at a restaurant. Raving…I mean really raving about it…saying how she hoped it wouldn’t disappear off the menu EVER ‘raving’. As she was describing it to me I thought – well, that doesn’t sound too hard to make…so here Mom – a late anniversary gift just for you! Continue reading

After baking these Buttermilk Blueberry & Chocolate Muffins I ate two…the remaining muffins were scarfed down so quickly by my sons and their friends that before I even blinked they were gone! Thank goodness I got to them first… Continue reading

Just Picked Blueberry Pie

I have a friend who loves to pick blueberries every year for everybody. Who am I to complain? So when she delivered twenty cups of blueberries, it was pie time, blueberry pancake time, blueberry in my cereal time… blueberries galore! I ended up making four pies, three were sweet and one was sort of savory. I will give you the savory variation at the end… Continue reading

Crazy Good Blueberry Pancakes


This is one of those oops that turned out fantastic. One morning my youngest son Gabe wanted pancakes for breakfast and he wanted me to add the blueberries that he and his girlfriend had picked at a local farm. Only one problem…I didn’t have any milk left in the fridge. No cream, no half and half…all I had was Bailey’s French Vanilla Coffee Creamer that I use for my morning tea. I thought, well let’s just give that a try and see how it goes…and this is how it went! Keep in mind I was preparing these for one big guy so I used a small amount of ingredients. It made 8 medium sized pancakes…Crazy good!    Continue reading

Feather Pancakes

It’s Sunday morning…it’s still cold outside. This calls for warm syrupy pancakes for breakfast! Years ago my mom’s friend Fay gave her a recipe for homemade pancakes. Although they tasted really good for some reason they always came out flat. With some changes to the original recipe I was able to add fluffiness to the pancakes. And with the addition of vanilla they became our favorite weekend pancakes. Sometimes we add chocolate chips; sometimes it’s sliced bananas, strawberries or blueberries. They’re as easy to make as they are to eat! Enjoy!    Continue reading
