Berries! I love all the berries! Blue, black, rasp, straw, and whatever other ones I can’t think of. Though I think I’m only fond of cranberries when they’re dried.

This week, I had a few guests join me for breakfast at dinner time: blueberries and cream french toast!

Nothing like breakfast for dinner. It is the most important meal of the day so why not eat it more than once!



If you can’t tell by now, I’m beginning to love this 4 square photo display method (I have no idea what it’s really called).

So my friend Beth suggested this idea (and provided the recipe!) so I invited over to be my guest sous chef.



When she’s not spilling the blueberry sauce all over the stove, she was a good bread slicer. =p

We also had our world traveling friend staying here for 2 weeks so we fed her too!

I could probably eat breakfast for dinner every…other day!
