Pumpkin French Toast Sticks
This recipe is a twist on the traditional French toast. Pumpkin is rich in vitamins A, C, K and E as wells as minerals like potassium, so adding a puree to eggs is like taking a multivitamin. Plus, it lends the sticks a natural sweetness that pleases preschoolers. Actually, it pleases most anyone.
