Challah French Toast with Blueberry Syrup

The clocks moved forward this morning and spring is almost here.  Honestly, it's like I've been living under a rock.  Now I am quite excited about the buds on the trees and the promise of cherry blossoms in Madison Park.  I celebrated this morning by making French toast, organic coffee, and watching a vampire movie....seemed appropriate since it feels like I haven't seen daylight in ages!
