A-Muesling French Toast Sticks
1/3 c nonfat milk
1/4 c egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla extract
.5 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp Muesli (I use Hodgson Mill's Apples & More Muesli)
.25 c sugar-free maple-flavored syrup
1) Mix egg substitute, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in shallow pan.
2) Cut bread slices into 3 "sticks" each.
3) Soak the bread sticks for 15 seconds on each side (you shouldn't have any egg mixture left by the end).
4) Spray skillet with non-stick spray. Cook on medium heat, flipping every couple of minutes, until golden brown and cooked on all sides. Make sure to check the edges of the bread sticks.
5) Top with muesli and syrup. Garnish with grapes or apple slices (optional, not included in nutritional data). I used craisins. Yum.
Serves 1.

This is such a great meal to start the day. I stay full almost until lunch thanks to the amount of fiber and protein in this dish. Plus, it's helpful on a day full of calories so that you don't get too snacky.
Our day has had more calories than Thanksgiving! We went for ribs at the barbecue place near my house (I only had a little) and ate the rest of the Pumpkin Chili with that. Tonight we are going to Julian, a restaurant run by a finalist for Next Iron Chef. I'm thinking seared trout, but am not quite sure yet. No matter what, I'm sure there will be some extra calories in there!
We did a lot of shopping this afternoon and I came home with some new cookie cutters. I'm super excited to take them for a spin!
