I know it's generally considered a cop-out to blog what you had for breakfast--a device that noncreative people use to fill that empty screen. But I disagree--especially this morning, when Vann and I have just enjoyed a delicious concoction called Blueberry French Toast (which I myself made).
I started last night by cutting my french bread into 1" cubes and putting them into a 9" x 13" baking dish along with a package of cream cheese, some maple syrup, 12 eggs, and a cup of blueberries. I covered it and put it in the refrigerator. This morning, I took it out and baked it at 350 for about an hour (give or take). While it was baking I made the simple blueberry syrup from sugar, water, and blueberries.
Sophie was very good all through breakfast and didn't beg. But as I was straightening up the kitchen and loading the diswasher, she started barking. I looked around and she was staring up at the baking dish with the remains of the french toast, barking her head off. So I just had to give her a little taste. She deemed it delicious.
You can find the recipe for this scrumptious dish in Recipes from the Red Rooster, just out from Red Rooster Retreat. In fact, the book contains recipes for most of the wonderful dishes that Jennifer feeds us while we're on retreat. If you want the Blueberry French Toast recipe and don't want to buy the book, leave a comment telling me, and I'll share it with you.

Oh my, that looks delicious. Especially with the blueberry syrup. I suppose by the time I got there you'd have eaten it all up...

This looks quite yummy. It reminds me of something similar I made a while back with peaches and pecans. Yum! I love Sophie's new Dogster page. Margot has asked her to be Pup Pals!

That looks devine! My two dogs will sit there and stare at me while I eat. One of them will whine when they can't take it anymore. I guess kibble is not as exciting as what we eat.
