How to make French Toast Fingers

We've all seen the Frozen French Toast at the grocery store. Here is a healthier version that is more delicious and costs less, too. My kids love to dip the french toast sticks into honey, yogurt or syrup.

Directions:

Heat non stick pan. Spray with non stick spray.

Scramble 3 eggs (2 egg whites, 1 whole egg)

2 Tbs. milk

Dip 1 slice sour dough in egg batter and brown both sides in pan. Cool. Slice toast into "fingers" almost to the crust.

This will keep the toast from sliding into the toaster when you reheat it. And it's fun for kids to pull apart. Store in air tight containers in freezer to reheat on busy mornings.

I keep the freezer stocked with Ready to Eat French Toast, protein rich edamame, portioned 2 minute brown rice and lean ground turkey

Serve alongside Fage greek yogurt and berries.

How to Prepare for Busy Mornings

Hi Fit Moms!

Hope your kids (and you) are in the school routines. Mornings are so crazy. It seems I sign a little of relief when I get them to school on time, homework and healthy lunches in their back packs, hair and teeth brushed and ready for the fun school day.

Here are a few of my personal Fit Mom Prep tips to make your mornings go a little more smoothly:

Every Sunday I will make 2 dozen whole wheat pancakes with an added scoop of steel oats and/or trail mix pre chopped in the food processor.  I put the pancakes in an airtight container to reheat in the toaster on busy mornings. This is a much healthier and more economical option to the brands you by in the grocery store.

I chop of several types of fruit and put them in labeled containers. This is a healthy addition to yogurt for breakfasts or after school snacks.

Hard boil 2 dozen eggs and put them back into the carton. I write "Hard Boiled" directly on the carton. My kids love them in their lunch box and after school.

It's amazing what you will eat when you are starving. If you make healthier options available to you, it will be easy to feed your body with nutritious foods.

Enjoy!

Kiana Mini Meal: Parsely Pesto Shrimp

We love summer! We barbecue a few times per week and enjoy healthy food, relaxing music and time with our family.  We love hanging out in the back yard, looking at the blue sparkling ocean, feeling the warm breeze and relaxing in the shade of the palm trees.  Here is one of my favorite Grilled Shrimp recipes. As you know, I love recipes that are simple to prepare, require a minimum of high quality ingredients, that are easy to clean up. This Parsley Pesto sauce is so easy to make and you can store the extra in the refrig for up to a week.
