Notes

After several unsuccessful attempts at getting my grandsons to eat french toast one Saturday morning I created this recipe almost by accident. I went to the pantry and pulled out the box of cereal  handing it to my 4 year old grand son. He quickly pulled the plastic bag containing the cereal out of the box out and handed it to his little brother who without missing a beat proceeded to smash it! Now what I thought? The first thought that came to mind was breading chicken with crushed corn flakes. Would it work with the French toast? I cut the bread into sticks hoping the new shape would also spark an interest in this creation. They gleefully took turns continuing to crush the cereal  and to my delight  they devoured the French toast sticks. Now it's one of the first things they ask to do is to smash the cereal!
