This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Today I wanted to combine two of my favorite things, breakfast and dessert, to make one mouthwatering dish: Blueberry French Toast Shortcakes! I was sent juicy blueberries from Rainier Fruits so I decided to make my favorite homemade blueberry pie filling. Then I added sweet cubed brioche bread and whipped cream and voila!
Dessert is served!

It’s #SummerDessertWeek and I’ve teamed up with 25 amazing bloggers and 6 wonderful brands to bring you more than 70 summer dessert recipes and 6 awesome prizes!

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
