Log Cabin Syrup, helping bring breakfast to your dinner table

Sometimes when planning a week's worth of dinners, our family can get into a rut. There are numerous variations on chicken, steak and fish but sometimes everything just blends together. That's why our family has started the breakfast for dinner night.

What's breakfast for dinner? It's having some pancakes or French toast in place of steak and mashed potatoes. Log Cabin has launched a campaign, Breakfast for Dinner. It's a great way to break the dinnertime rut and give the kids a little treat.

Did you know that Log Cabin is the only branded table syrup that has eliminated high fructose corn syrup from it's ingredients list?  Don't worry though, Log Cabin syrup still has the same great taste that we have all loved for over 120 years.

So, I bet you are thinking, how can breakfast for dinner be good for you or even a fast, easy dinner. Simple, use good ingredients and plan ahead. A simple idea is to do baked French toast. I make my French toast in a pyrex pan when I'm making breakfast for the kids.

Here's a modified recipe. Take 1 loaf of raisin bread (I use Panera's cinnamon raisin bread). Cut the bread into 1 inch slices. Place sliced bread in a buttered pan, create 2 layers. Mix together 8 eggs, 2 cups of half & half, 1 cup milk a dash of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and sugar to taste. Pour the liquid over the bread. Cover the pan and place in the refrigerator for the day (or over night). Bake covered pan in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes.

If your family doesn't like raisin bread, you could use challah bread, french baguette or any bread that you like. Also, you can top the mixture with nuts or sliced fruit when it comes out of the oven. We had our raisin french toast with pecans, cranberries and of course, Log Cabin syrup.

Overall, the Log Cabin Breakfast for dinner campaign helps families break the dinner rut. Be sure to check out the Log Cabin Facebook page and Twitter page for special fundraisers for regional organizations and in-store sampling events featuring pancake dinners and Log Cabin Syrup.
