Life is Sweet Sally Lunn French Toast Recipe
French toast reminds me of my childhood. My grandma always used to make it for me, and boy did I love it! I still do, which is why it's incredibly strange the last time I ate it was probably ten years ago. When I was browsing through Life is Sweet, the Hummingbird Bakery's new collection of American home-baking recipes, I thought I would have a really hard time choosing which dish to test out first. The selection includes everything from easy classics such as Buttermilk Pancakes to more complicated and sophisticated desserts, arranged in logical categories, making the recipe book super easy to use. There was a number of recipes that caught my attention, and I'll make sure to try them all at some point, but when I stumbled upon the Sally Lunn French Toast, I knew I had a winner.
To make four people very happy first thing in the morning, you'll need 8 thick slices of white bread, 2 large eggs, 115 ml of whole milk, 115 ml of single cream, a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp of caster sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon and 30 g of unsalted butter.
You need to whisk everything apart from bread and butter together in one bowl, and then soak the slices of bread with the mixture. Once they get soggy, you melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the slices until golden brown on each side. Super easy and super yummy. I'm for sure making these again very, very soon! How about you? Will you be giving this recipe a go? If you do, don't forget to send me a pic via social media.
P.S. If you're interested in other recipes from this book, you can order it over here on Amazon. It's currently discounted from £20 to only £5.99. Woop woop!

Pina Colada Smoothie
I made this on Saturday and I really didn't expect it to turn out as yummy as it did. You literally need just 5 minutes and a few ingredients to do it.
WHAT YOU NEED (for 3-4 servings):
o 2 cups of pineapple
o 2 cups of coconut milk
o 2 bananas
o 1/2 cup of ice cubes
o 4 tablespoons of honey
HOW TO DO IT:
Just slice up the pineapple and the bananas; throw everything in a blender; and mix it until you get a drink-like texture. Now pour it into glasses and garnish them with slices of pineapple. Cheers!
Strawberry Milkshake
This is what I made a few days ago to help me cope with 30°C. I mixed together 2dl of milk, a cup of strawberries, one teaspoon of sugar and some vanilla-strawberry ice-cream. It was really delicious and refreshing! :)

HOW TO DO IT:
First, remove stems, ribs and seeds from all vegetables and cut them on small pieces.
Put baking sheet in the oven dish and then toss in broccoli with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil on 180° for about 5 minutes, tossing once or twice, until broccoli begins to char.
Then add mushrooms and peppers to sheet and season with salt and pepper. Broil on 180° for about 10 more minutes, tossing once or twice, until vegetables are tender. Then put the dish out of the oven and toss all the vegetables on a big plate.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cut bread and place it on a dish you were using before. Spread bread with mayonnaise mixture and top it with vegetables and cheese. Put the dish back into the oven and broil on 180° for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Now, enjoy your meal! :)
I served the melts with some cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
