Pineapple Stuffed French Toast with Coconut Syrup

Mother’s Day is two weekends away. What are you planning to do for your mom? When I was a teenager I started the tradition of taking my mom to the beach and enjoying a brunch picnic together; however, we haven’t been able to do that in years. And now that I’m a new mom I don’t think I can swing the beach this year, but I’m sure its a tradition we will start up next year with my little family. We typically go out to a big fancy brunch with my husband’s family and that evening have my parents over for a home cooked meal. Some years, if my mom isn’t working I’ll cook her brunch at our home.

I love cooking breakfast and brunch. One thing that I’ve done consistently since being a new mom is cook breakfast. 3 days home from the hospital and I was cooking breakfast for my husband and I! This is my first official recipe I’ve created since having the baby and I must say I think I’ve hit it out of the park!

When World Market asked me to create a recipe for their Mom In Paradise sweepstakes I knew exactly what I was going to make. I wanted to go along with the Hawaiian theme (dude, you can win a Hawaiian vacation), so I created a recipe for Hawaiian-style Stuffed French Toast. They have a rather large food and drink selection at World Market and a nice variety of Hawaiian products to help you host the perfect Hawaiian themed brunch this mother’s day!

Pineapple Stuffed French Toast with Coconut Syrup

My recipe for Pineapple Stuffed French Toast with Coconut Syrup consist of thick slices of french bread infused with coconut syrup, and slathered with a cream cheese-pineapple filling and topped with toasted macadamia nuts and coconut flakes oh and more of that decadent coconut syrup. If you’ve never had coconut syrup before, run don’t walk to your nearest World Market and pick up a few bottles. I could drink the stuff–it’s that good and quite addicting.

My mom has always dreamed of going to Hawaii and I know she’ll be entering the sweepstakes. I think of Hawaii as a great family destination and dream of having a big family trip their in a few years. Their are things to do for all ages! And of course the food looks and sounds amazing! So if you can’t treat mom to a Hawaii vacation this mother’s day why not create a Hawaiian themed brunch to make her feel like she is visiting the Big Island for the morning!And make sure you check out the Mother’s Day Shop at World Market! They have perfect gifts that everyone mom would enjoy!
