Banana Nutella Stuffed French Toast….now that says weekend

I’m on call this weekend… Which while I love my job, I don’t love call. So I make an effort to maintain “my happy state of mind”… Breakfast with my kids… Maybe a little coffee break between hospitals…the day may take longer, but I feel more human…. And I think that makes me better- better mom, better doctor, better partner, better friend. Of course, when the emergency room calls 5 mins after I’ve finally gotten home, the happy all goes away in one beep of the pager (it’s Pavlovian) and I’m back to my small rituals to reinstill the “happy”.

Nothing says happy like French toast on a Saturday morning with a cappuccino and the kids… And even better? Stuff it with nutella and banana…. Oh yes!!!!

Nutella & a sliced banana
