I love Sunday mornings.
Sleeping in. Laying in bed for an hour, not wanting/needing to get out from under the covers. Making a deliciously indulgent breakfast. Eating three portions of it. Then maybe having a nap.
Yes, Sunday mornings are the best.
Blackberries were on sale at my local store so I bought a pack, not knowing what I’d do with them. Then Sunday morning came, and well, berries and breakfast are just meant to be together! I had been craving french toast all week, so this baby was born.
The sweetness of the french toast is balanced out by the tartness of the blackberries and the hint of basil. Drool. Can you say Spring?
