Strawberry Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

Isn't that something right there? Doesn't that look like it would make the perfect Mother's Day breakfast, served to me by my loving son and husband? Yeah, well...it wasn't ;)

I actually made this for Jesse last week as a big 'ol Thank You! for letting me sleep in undisturbed. Thursday's are his day off from school, so I try to sleep a little later. Unfortunately Jesse (who gets up at about 6am and lays on the couch watching Disney Jr.) loves to come in and out of my room telling me all the exciting things Mickey and the gang are up to...as it happens. And since my bedroom door is right off the living room, he comes in a LOT.

However this past Thursday, he didn't bother me at ALL! In fact, I was initially worried. I got up at 6:30 to make sure he was still alive and there he was, lying on the couch as usual. He said I could go back to sleep for awhile, he was ok. So I did. And it was WONDERFUL! *Sigh*...I have such a sweet boy.

So...even though Heath had already given him a small breakfast at around 6am, I decided to make him some stuffed French Toast. I thought of Yammie's recipe that I'd seen a few days earlier and decided to go off that. It was sooooo goooood!!! He dug right into it and ate that whole plate!

I had to make another for myself since he wouldn't share. Didn't care though. With the extra couple hours of sleep I was able to get, I could have cooked all day! :)
