I came up with this recipe one morning while preparing breakfast for guests at my bed and breakfast. It became one of our most requested dishes and I later included it in our inn's cookbook!

- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 4 eggs , beaten

Instructions

1
In a bowl, whisk milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon into the beaten eggs until well blended. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together raspberry puree and cream cheese until smooth. Make 'sandwiches' by cutting each slice of bread in half and spreading raspberry-cheese mixture in the center, then top with the other half.

Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet or griddle. Dip bread into egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Cook until well-browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Scalloped Potatoes au Gratin
This is the way my mom made these scalloped potatoes and ham with mushroom soup. I love the recipe because you don't have to add seasonings, and it is consistently delicious. Adding the optional ham slices to the bottom of the pan turns this into a main dish.
Delicious Gluten-Free Blueberry Corn Muffins
After I was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, I played around with various recipes so that I could not only eat food that worked with my system, but also enjoy it. I love this blueberry muffin almost as much as the original, all-purpose flour version, and the rest of my family can enjoy it too without feeling like it's a sacrifice. I generally use brown rice flour, but white rice flour may yield a fluffier muffin. I personally like the texture the cornmeal adds, but for a more traditional muffin, feel free to do all rice flour (maybe half brown, half white).
Divine Summertime Chicken Sandwich
Grilled chicken sandwiches can easily be made on the stove. Just sandwich pan-fried chicken breasts between two slices of buttery, toasted French bread with a fresh, herby cream cheese spread, tomatoes, and lettuce. Serve with a glass of wine or lemonade.
