French Toast
My Mother used to make me French toast on Saturday mornings when I was growing up. I think what made hers the best was the fact that she used vanilla extract in the egg mixture to give it some added sweetness, and she also made her own syrup(recipe below). Her recipe is fast and tastes great, which is important for busy Moms. Try it this weekend and your kids will love it!
