I am a crock-pot fanatic

This would be my fourth New Year's Resolution and so far it's going swimmingly! Three recipes down and another to go tonight. So yummy. So easy.

My favorite recipe so far: Creamy French Toast with Blueberries. Yum!

1 T butter
1/2 c. soft cream cheese (from a tub) (light of course)
8 slices of stale bread, crusts removed (I'm thinking WW bread here)
1 1/2 c. wild blueberries
8 eggs, beaten
2 cups light cream
1 cup Splenda
pinch salt
2 t vanilla

Grease the crock pot with the butter & leave the excess in the crock

Spread cream cheese onto one side of the bread slices. Place the bread, cream cheese side down, into the crock.

Sprinkle the blueberries over the bread.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.

Pour mixture over the bread and berries in the crock. The bread will start to float up. Gently press the bread down into the egg mixture. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and then press the bread down again.

Cover and cook on low for 3 hours. The casserole will be “poofed” and slightly browned on the edges when done.
