French Toast SticksI taste-tested this recipe with my daycare kids. It was a big hit with everyone!
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- cinnamon and sugar mixture
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 slices of fingerlink bread (thick sliced, sweet bread)
- Syrup
Melt butter on a skillet. Mix eggs, milk and vanilla in a bowl. Dip bread in egg mixture and place on skillet. Brown both sides of french toast.
Sprinkle finished french toast with cinnamon and sugar. Serve with syrup.
Graham Coffee Cake
The first time I served this, the kids were afraid I was going to make them drink coffee. Once they figured out that wasn't the case, they loved the cake.
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 full crackers)
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- 1 boxed classic yellow cake mix
- Powdered sugar
In a medium bowl, mix the first four ingredients and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the cake mix according to package directions. Pour half the cake mix into a greased 13 x 9" pan. Sprinkle half of the cracker mixture over the top. Carefully pour and spread the second half of the cake batter in the pan. Top with remaining cracker mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Breakfast Dog
This is a super good, super easy recipe that works well for daycare kids regardless of age and also works well for kids who need to eat before taking off to school.
- Hot dog bun
- Creamy peanut butter
- Strawberry jam
- Banana, sliced into quarters lengthwise
Spread a thin layer of peanut and jam onto the hotdog bun. Place a quartered banana into the bun. Cut into appropriate sections for each child.
For smaller children, cut off a small section and squish it down to make for easier handling.
Pumpkin Bread
One of the little boys in my daycare kept begging me to make pumpkin bread. When I finally did, it was a big hit with all the kids!
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
- 3 eggs
- 1-16 oz can of pumpkin
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two bread pans by spraying with cooking spray.
Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with an electric mixer. Divide the batter between the two prepared bread pans. Bake for one hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
My kids liked this bread better after it was cooled rather than warm out of the oven.
