A sampling of Helen's Breakfast Recipes:

Blueberry French Toast

12 slices white bread, crusts removed
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
12 eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
SAUCE:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Cut bread into 1-inch cubes; place half in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Cut cream cheese into 1 inch cubes; place over bread. Top with blueberries and remaining bread.
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk and syrup; mix well. Pour over bread mixture.
Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 25-30 minutes more or until golden brown and the center is set.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in blueberries; reduce heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes or until berries have burst. Stir in butter until melted. Serve over French Toast.

Yield: 6-8 servings (1-3/4 cups sauce).
