HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!

Today would have been Steve's 41st birthday.... Steve passed away almost 2 yrs ago. I have spent much of today remembering our childhood and how we were so closely bonded. We went through hell together and stuck together through everything. My fondest memories of Steve have to be his sense of humor and his funny noises. Steve could make anyone laugh and feel at ease. Steve could also make some of the funniest noises and statements you have ever heard. Animals loved Steve! Especially cats! Our lil sister Jenny's cat "twinkle Suzie" LOVED Steve! I miss Steve sooo much it makes my heart hurt. I know he is free from the pain he was in for so many years though and that helps. IN HONOR OF STEVE PLEASE! TELL YOUR SIBLINGS AND FAMILY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM TODAY! I LOVE YOU STEVE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO-- your lil sister.....lala

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

So... I decided to post the stuffed french toast recipe because everybody kept asking me what is was!

Stuffed French Toast
you will need to double this unless there is just a couple people

1 pkg of cream cheese (softened)
1/2 C strawberry yogurt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (divided)
4 thick slices of french bread
4 eggs
1/4 C milk
1 TBS butter or marg
1 C sliced fresh strawberries (sweetened to taste)

Mix cream cheese, yogurt, & 1/2 tsp vanilla till smooth. After making a horizontal slit in the thickly sliced french bread spread the mixture into the slit part.
Beat eggs, milk & remaining vanilla.
Dip the stuffed french bread into the batter and place in a hot skillet with melted butter. Fry them until golden brown on both sides.
To serve: top each with cream cheese mixture and fresh strawberries. ENJOY!
P.S. you can also use reg bread and spread the cream cheese mixture on one slice and place another slice on top ( like a sanwhich). Dip and cook as directed above.
