"Special" French Toast

My kids don't know how good they have it...Jon makes them a hot breakfast an average of 4 times a week, and whatever he makes is from scratch. Most days they get traditional french toast, pancakes or waffles (with flax seed and protein powder thrown in for good measure). But whenever we have Italian bread in the house, they request "special" french toast. Jon and I had this at a bed and breakfast we stayed at for our 3rd anniversary.

Italian bread, sliced
cream cheese, softened
favorite jelly
eggs, beaten, with cinnamon & vanilla

spread cream cheese on 1 slice of bread and jelly on another, make a sandwich and dip in eggs. cook and serve.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
