Is this strawberry shortcake French toast breakfast.. or dessert? You decide!
I’m going to tell you a tale of a little turkey we call Avery. We call him turkey because he acts just like one. He is stubborn, hardheaded, absent minded and just plain difficult sometimes. Well, he was in full turkey mode this weekend. It started with family pictures on Saturday. He didn’t want to smile. And not only that, he didn’t want to listen in general. I’m ok with not smiling, but pleaseeee acknowledge me when I call your name 3 times.
Please?
His turkey-ness carried over to church on Sunday. After church the kids go to Sunday school while we stay for adult bible study. He is always excited to go because they sing songs, cut stuff out and play with glitter. He even asks if he can get up and go in the middle of service sometimes. Loudly.
He didn’t ask this Sunday and he wasn’t excited when we started walking him to the classroom either.
Then he flat out refused to go into the Sunday school classroom. Refused. I picked him up and sat him in the room only to have him run out almost screaming. I think I was half shocked and half embarrassed by his reaction. He LOVES Sunday school! Apparently not today. And we don’t like it so much we are going to scream, pitch a fit and cry about not wanting to go.
So we did what any parent would do – we made him sit outside the door.
Honestly though? I was surprised he sat there and didn’t keep popping up and running over to us every 5 minutes. He actually seemed to be enjoying sitting outside the Sunday school door listening to his sister sing and play with glitter. He even used his knees as puppets at one point. And then 10 minutes before Sunday school was over he came over to Ryon and I and asked if he could go in with sissy.
I’m not keeping score or anything, but I’m pretty sure that is parents 1 and Avery like 9 bajillion.
If you want to make this all homemade use this cream cheese pound cake, then top it with homemade strawberry sauce and whipped cream. And you’re set. You can pretty much take on anything. Like epic time out battles with a 3 year old. Boom.

Kacey @ The Cookie Writer says
This is so creative! I have never made French toast before (I know!!) but this looks really easy! Kids are strange, let me tell you. Everyone talks about the terrible twos but I found that a breeze, it is the hardheadedness and stubbornness that gets to you!
Kelley says
Yes yes and yes! They are sooo stubborn! I think he gets it from his dad 😉
Tonia from TheGunnySack says
Whew! Sounds like a rough day. They say that it is the terrible twos but I think that 3 and 4 year olds can give the 2 years olds a run for their money! This French toast is the perfect way to prepare for battle!
Kelley says
Oh I agree Tonia! It doesn’t stop at 2 sometimes! They don’t tell you that when you have kids! lol
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says

Kelley says
I agree Ashley! Love a good sweet breakfast 🙂
amanda @ fake ginger says
OBSESSED with this! I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
My boys go through days (or weeks… or months…) like that. They’re lucky they’re cute!
Kelley says
I say the same thing1 Good thing Avery is cute because.. well.. he’s a terror. They grow out of it right??
Patricia @ Grab a Plate says
Ah! The pix of this look so delicious! So… is it dessert for breakfast?? I’d say “yes” to either (or both)!
Kelley says
Haha! Thanks Patricia! I may have had it for breakfast and dessert.. lol.
Laura O|PetiteAllergyTreats says
LOL at the score! I feel like that with Mr. Naughty (hence his name). It’s always fun reading I’m not alone… Maybe he’d listen if this awesome french toasted was threaten to be taken away? 🙂
Kelley says
Haha! The score is pretty accurate too. He’s pretty good at what he does. I bet Avery and Mr. Naughty would get along great! lol
