Banana Split French Toast

A trip to the Farmer’s Market

I look forward to this time of year when so many varieties of fresh fruit is available.

So, I stocked my basket with everything I can get my hands on.  I grabbed some

red juicy strawberries, yellow ripe bananas and golden pineapples.

 I knew exactly what I would make.

I decided to make two versions of a French Toast.  I thought how much fun it 

would be to create a healthy breakfast French Toast and also a dessert French Toast.

The breakfast could be served with fresh fruit.  The dessert version can include your 

favorite ice cream and other fun toppings.
