This is a great recipe to try at your Kids Eat Smart Club this month. Prepare the french toast ahead of time and get the kids involved in putting the fruit and french toast on the sticks.  You will be amazed by how excited the kids get over fruit and french toast – just for the simple fact it’s on a stick.  Many clubs are looking for a special year end breakfast – and this could be just the recipe for that.  Serving fruit in fun ways can get kids to try fruit they may not have tried before.  Try this recipe this month at your KES Club.
