I’m always looking for healthy and delicious breakfast ideas.  On workdays, I’m usually rushing out the door in the morning and prefer portable breakfasts to take on the go.  But on my days off, I love having a relaxing breakfast at home with my family.  When I have a good, hearty breakfast in the morning, it puts me in a good mood and gives me the energy to get my day going.

So I was particularly excited about this month’s Recipe Redux theme- Break Out of Breakfast Boredom.  As cooks, we’re not always pressed for time in the mornings- we just need new ideas!  Don’t get stuck in a breakfast rut- breakfast doesn’t always have to be cereal, yogurt or oatmeal.  My Strawberry Stuffed French Toast is the perfect way to break out of your usual breakfast routine.  It’s a delicious and nutritious family-friendly dish that will make you feel like you’re indulging in a decadent treat.  French toast is stuffed with a creamy mixture of fresh strawberries, ricotta and Neufchâtel cheese.  How can you beat that?  Top it with some maple syrup and fresh berries for the perfect finishing touch.  Or for your young eaters, cut the French toast into triangles or sticks and serve with maple syrup on the side as a dipping sauce.
