Since I have guests for the weekend, I wanted to make something special for breakfast this morning. With fresh Louisiana strawberries in abundance, right now, I decided to make this heavenly recipe , that I have adapted from "Southern Living, "40 Years of Our Best Recipes, 2007". Definitely one of my favorites! Oh cest bon, cher! Enjoy!Croissant French Toast w/Strawberry Syrup
4 large day old croissants
2 large eggs
3/4 cup half and half, or milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbs.'s powdered sugar
Slice croissants in half, lengthwise. In shallow pan, whisk together half and half, or milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dip croissant halves into mixture, coating well. Melt 1 tbs. butter in a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat. Add 4 croissant halves and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and croissant halves. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with Fresh Strawberry Syrup. (recipe below) and perhaps a bit of whipped cream.
Fresh Strawberry Syrup
1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbs.'s light corn syrup
1/4 cup orange juice
Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Stir and let stand until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over French toast. Divine!

I've received a request for a Cajun Waltz and here is a little clip that I took of the High Performance Band, swaying the crowd at Festival International de Louisiane, in April. Hope that ya'll are having a fabulous, fun filled, summer weekend! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
