Recipe: Grand Marnier French Toast

Yuummm!!!! I would love to wake up to French toast, blackberries, butter and syrup. I can't forget about the fluffy eggs and thick sliced smoked bacon. There is something so comforting about French toast. It's so decadent that I can't have it every day, It's a once in a while treat. I'm thinking about it at this very moment. The Grand Marnier makes this extra special. Adults only !!
