We're about a week out from Mother's Day, so if you haven't start planning, its time to start!
Prior to becoming a Mommy myself, we had a tradition in our family of celebrating Mother's Day at my house where I cooked a great brunch filled with all kinds of culinary delights. I would set the table in the backyard filled with bright table cloths and dripping with flowers. One of the family favorite was my Crunch Vanilla French Toast covered in Strawberry Sauce.

Ingredients
Crunch French Toast
- Head to your local Smart & Final and grab a box of Oats & More cereal. We love First Street's with Honey and Almonds. You will need approximately 2 cups of cereal.
Seriously, how many of you shop Smart & Final? If you haven't tried it, you really should. I love that they carry everything from product to meats to bakery items. I also appreciate that I can get warehouse size when I need it and if I need just one thing, that I can get it there too. Best of both worlds (warehouse and grocery). Who doesn't love one stop shop?
