I Love Breakfast

No filter did the ripe strawberries justice

 Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day. I have the best memories of spending the weekend at my grandparents house and my Grandma always made me whatever I wanted...french toast, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. Not all at once of course. It was such a treat and quite the opposite of what I would have been eating at home with my parents who were not big on me having what seemed like "dessert" for breakfast.

I have brought my boys up with the love of breakfast as well. Without them articulating it, I believe it is their most favorite meal of the day also.

Today I adapted this Cooking Light recipe for French Toast Waffles. I use wheat bread for almost everything and always have it on hand, so we substituted the french bread in the recipe. I also eliminated the melted butter. I had started out wanting to make waffle batter from scratch with whole wheat flour and decided this was such a nice short cut! Heat the waffle iron, mix the egg, milk, cinnamon, vanilla. Dip the bread, heat in the waffle iron, and voila!

The powdered sugar, strawberries and 100% maple syrup was just icing on the...toast. Enjoy!
