Father's Day French Toast

I forgot to post this on Father's day, but better late than never, right? Normally when I make french toast, I put a pat of butter and some Ohio syrup on it. This day, I was out of syrup and because I am pregnant, I can't ever remember to write it on my grocery list, let alone purchase it when I actually go to the store. French toast has been my staple Bradley diet breakfast since it covers the protien and grain requirements enough to jump start my day. And it is so much more exciting than scrambled eggs and toast... even with my fantastic jam/jellies.Nutella is something that I was introduced to through Everyday Italian. Giada often uses it in her dessert recipes and I have found it to be somewhat addicting when eaten straight from the jar. Nutella is made of hazelnuts, almonds, milk and cocoa. So here we are, protein in my new favorite form. I made a batch of french toast and then spread the Nutella over it in place of the butter and syrup. In fact, making my breakfast this way, I was able to up the protien value by 3 whole grams. When you need to consume 75-100 grams of protein in a day, 3 grams is a huge deal. Add some fresh fruit and you have a wonderful, special breakfast that can jazz up a rainy day or make a Hallmark holiday even more special.
