Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast

The Kidlet got a new cookbook from Grammie a few weeks ago. She's been super-excited to try some recipes from it ever since. It took me a while to find the time to get in the kitchen with her, but we finally managed it last weekend.

She originally wanted to make apple fritters, but I wasn't up for setting up the wok for deep frying so I asked her to pick something else. This was her second choice recipe.

We ended up cutting the recipe down from six sandwiches to just two. I feel like that was a much more reasonable quantity. And it gave the Kidlet a chance to pratice her division skills. She did all the math to cut the recipe down to a 1/3 quantity.
