Peanut Butter and Banana Stuffed French Toast

1/2 cup granola
8 slices of white bread
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 teaspoon honey
1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinamon
1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the granola in a shallow bowl; set aside.
Spread each slice of bread with peanut butter. Drizzle honey evenly over peanut butter. Divide the banana slices among four slices of the bread; top with the remaining bread, peanut butter sides down. Remove the crusts and tightly pinch the edges of each sandwich together to seal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Soak each sandwich in the egg mixture for 5 seconds. Roll the edges of each sandwich in granola.
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches, working in batches if necessary; cook about 2 minutes per side or until golden. Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet; bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

1,200 Calorie Shake

Our doctor “prescribed” one of these a day for our daughter. Iʼm convinced they were a crucial element in her recovery. The key is to use a high-calorie ice cream. Haagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerryʼs are usually the best.
2 cups Haagen-Dazs ice cream 1/2 to 1 cup whole milk
Blend ingredients in a milkshake maker or blender. Serve with a straw.

Delicious Hot Cocoa
Claireʼs Delicious Cocoa
1/3 cup carnation instant breakfast powder (chocolate)
1 packet instant cocoa of your choice
1 cup half and half
Optional: We often add an additional dollop of heavy cream in the cocoa or a squirt of whipped cream on top
Put the instant breakfast mix and cocoa mix into a mug. Pour warm half and half over it. Whip with a small whisk or fork.

Seems scary I know! But these foods are tasty and so good for someone who's gaining weight! Which will YOU try??
