“It cures what ails you!” That’s a saying we have around the house.  So why on earth would PB&J French Toast Sticks come to mind as a cure?? My son picked up some crazy germs at school and came down with the flu and strep (at the same time!) “When ya going to make PB&J French Toast Sticks?”, he kept repeating. Yep, without a doubt this is what the boy needed and wanted! In fact…that peanut butter streusel, those crispy baked slices of Brioche, the intense flavor of raspberry jam, topped with fresh berries, and a side of syrup for extensive dipping was just what the doctor ordered! Yikes!!…something so amazing and indulgent as these French Toast Sticks should be on everyone’s wish list—or better yet—on the must make-list!
