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!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
