My son was home for the July 4th weekend, so I always make some special meals. I whipped up this awesome French toast infused with lavender and lemon flavoring. I found a wonderful lavender lemon simple syrup that was my inspiration. Cutting super fat pieces of bakery challah bread, doesn’t hurt either. My son loved it!
