A Delicious Breakfast Treat

Last week our OFL class in Durham created Chocolate Strawberry French Toast, and the recipe was a hit! It just so happens that strawberries are on sale this week at Harris Teeter until Tuesday at midnight! So go pick up some fresh strawberries and try out this recipe for yourself.
