Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast – Book Review
October 28, 2015 | Liz Weiss
Getting healthy, protein-rich foods onto the family breakfast table just got a whole lot easier with my newest recipes for Pumpkin Maple Pancakes and Blueberry Banana French Toast in a Mug and this adorable and engaging NEW illustrated children’s book, Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast.
Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast are good friends who find themselves on a zany race through a food-filled fridge for the final drop of maple syrup. The book is hilarious, and it got me wondering which of these breakfast favorites families love best: Pancakes or French toast. So I surveyed my community and found that a whopping 87% like pancakes better.
As for Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast, you’ll have to read the book to find out which tasty character got to the maple syrup first.
Author Josh Funk has quite the imagination and yes, he wove plenty of nutritious vegetables into his tasty tale including Brussels sprouts, beets, and beans!
If Lady Pancake is more your style, then check out my recipe for Pumpkin Maple Pancakes. This recipe is perfect for pleasing even the pickiest of eaters because it’s flavorful, filled with fiber and protein, and has 70% of the daily requirement for immune-boosting vitamin A, thanks to the pumpkin. Lady Pancake would be proud 🙂
If Sir French Toast is more in your culinary wheelhouse, then check out my Blueberry Banana French Toast in a Mug. It’s easy, packed with fiber and protein, and fun for kids (and adults) of all ages.
We love pancakes! And daughter showed me this book this weekend while in the bookstore and I told her she should add it to her Christmas list!

What great recipes! I may get my son to eat one or both, he is so picky. But these sound flavorful and healthy! Thank you!!
My family prefers pancakes. Almost every Sat. morning we cook your pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes.
My family loves French Toast, my children are for it frequently.

My family loves French toast made with Hawaiian sweet bread and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. We enjoy it for any meal of the day!
We prefer pancakes – I have a tried and true whole wheat/oatmeal pancake that we love!
We are split down the middle. How do you choose? They are both so good.
I love children’s books. My youngest is 12 now…so I guess I am still collecting for the next generation. i would share the book with kids who come visit.
Have a 2 year old who loves both and would love this book!

My family prefers pancakes. I would love to win this book to read to my 10 month old!
We love waffles. We make your pumpkin walnut waffles every time there’s a Stanford football game.

My kids love both pancakes and french toast, but perhaps they prefer pancakes a tad more. We would love to make recipes from your cookbook, bravo mealmakeovermoms! 🙂
My family prefers pancakes of any flavor! I would love this book for all 6 of my grandkids, 10 months to 6 years of age. I have tweeted the contest and follow you on all social media as well.
Definitely pancakes!
Pancakes would probably take the lead, but I love some good French toast!!
How cute!!! I love that title, and what a perfect Christmas gift for my nieces and nephews! I have to say, I am a pancake lover at heart, but anything you can make in a mug always grabs my attention! 🙂
Pancakes with berries!
Pancakes are a favorite in our house! My girls get excited for our family breakfasts on the weekends and pancakes are always their number one choice! This book looks super cute. Need to check it out!
Have to say it would be pancakes.
I can’t say we prefer one over the other. They ask for pancakes more frequently, but they get excited when I suggest French toast.
Pancakes, made by my husband every Sunday! Thank you.
My family loves pancakes!
We are a divided family. My hubby and son love French toast while my daughter and I prefer pancakes. But thankfully, all of us will eat either one. Toppings are a whole nother debate. Just butter for me, tons of syrup for the hubby, light syrup for my son, strawberries and whipped cream for the daughter. The only thing we agree on at breakfast time is who is doing dishes….me. (sigh)
Pancakes in our house. Pumpkin sounds so good, too.

I love French toast (so happy there is finally a Canada friendly giveaway)
We are happy about that too!
Ooh, tough one! My 6 year old and 3 year old twins have been really loving the protein pancakes that are all over the web. Basically: oats, eggs, cottage cheese, mashed banana, and we always add spinach or greens and top with a few mini chocolate chips! The blog PBFingers has a great basic banana bread protein pancake recipe to start! Can’t wait to try your new ideas!! LOVE your blog and cookbooks, been a long time listener.

My husband and sons LOVE pancakes, but I’m a waffle girl myself. I LOVED listening to your podcast today and would love to win a copy of your book because it sounds so fun! I love a book with a good rhythm to it, and it was so fun to listen to it being read by you. But, here’s a little secret, even if I don’t win. . . it’s already on my Amazon private list and my kids and nieces will be getting a copy for Christmas. I can’t wait to read the book together with them! Cheers, Lisa
One extra for Pinterest, other one for FB
love the idea of french toast in a cup because you hit the nail on the head. I hate a bowl of cereal for a busy day because then Im starving an hour or so later. Yum!
French toast! My students would love the book!
I personally love,love,love, French toast!! Now that I’m older and wiser, I feel guilty eating it too much! So I make delicious pancakes for my kids, absolute favorite of theirs, with chocolate chips of course!!
Looks yummy!
I loved this interview! Our family loves french toast. I also follow you on Facebook and Pinterest! Hope I win!
We love Sunday mornjng pancakes with a secret tablespoon of flaxseed. Yum!
My family loves both. Reading this book to my 3 year old may get her to eat one or both of these. Yum!
This book looks adorable! My boys would love it! As a family I would say pancakes are the favorite, but I always get French toast when we go out for breakfast.
My husband, two boys and I are MOST of the time pancake fans. But every now and then we indulge on some yummy French toast.
We love pancakes of all kinds, but french toast once in awhile is always welcome!
