What's the best way to wake up in the morning?

Knowing that you will be eating a delicious breakfast!

This morning Mark and I made berry cream cheese stuffed french toast with orange lime syrup.
Kind of my own creation, and I'm sorry I have to brag, but it was AWESOME!



Noah liked his "sandwich"





Mix together one 8-oz pkg softened cream cheese with 2 cups or so berries (we did strawberries and blackberries), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and a teaspoon vanilla. Spread liberally on a piece of bread. Top with another slice of bread. dip in egg mixture:

beat together 4 eggs with 3/4 cup milk and a some cinnamon in a pie pan.

Cook on griddle.

Drizzle syrup on "sandwiches":

1 Tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 cup orange juice and juice from 1 lime. Add about 1/3 cup sugar (I used brown and white sugar, and i just kinda poured it in without measuring). You could also add some orange zest, which I meant to do but forgot. heat up in small sauce pan, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.

Please note that most things I just kinda eyeballed and didn't actually measure--with the exception of the cream cheese and eggs which are easy to measure since they come packaged in usable sizes already. For those of you who MUST have an exact recipe, be brave! Just add something in, taste it, and then add something more in if it needs it.

Bon appetit!
