"This is from "365 Foods Kids Love to Eat" by Sheila Ellison and Judith Gray. It was reprinted in a magazine and I thought it sounded like something the kids would enjoy. It recommends serving the french toast topped with apricot or peach preserves. I really have no clue on the prep and cook times."
