Today is my Kelsey’s 8th birthday. I can’t believe it! She was only 2 years old when her and Kale came into my life. It’s amazing how fast she has grown up. I can remember Kelseys first day of preschool like it was yesterday, and now she’ll be starting 3rd grade this year. Wow. So bittersweet. She has been such a blessing in my life. I have learned so many things from raising her. I am so proud to call her my daughter : )
I wanted to make her a special birthday breakfast, so we had this Blueberry French Toast from the The Food Nanny‘s wonderful cookbook. I also made some turkey-bacon to go along with it. Kels loved it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet baby girl!!! : )

Holly, this was awesome! My husband eats everything and always says, “It’s good.” so I never know what his favorites are or what he’d like to have again. This he RAVED about. He loved the sauce and the croissants. My kids love breakfast and they cleaned their plates. I can never add blueberries to their foods but they ate them in this dish! What a great special occassion breakfast. Thank you for sharing this. It was so beyond scrumptious, there are no words to describe it.
