Hawaiian French Toast with Coconut Syrup and Caramelized Pineapple

Last night a recipe came into my head that came to existence at the break of day today . . . Hawaiian bread french toast with coconut syrup! I must have been seriously inspired to get up early this morning and make breakfast for my handsome hubby because today just became a day of celebration!I will have to share more later but no I am not expecting and no I am not graduating yet (got a lovely e-mail a little while back that said that they miss calculated my classes and I need 1, yes 1 more! . . . story of my life!) Life it great though! What can I say! This tropical twist on french toast was something awesome too! Next time I am definately going to make bacon to serve alongside it because it was something sweet in the end! But oh so good! I especially love the syrup!
