Finger-Licking Friday #1

Hey everyone!

Welcome to my new series Finger-Licking Friday! From now on, every Friday I will share with you a recipe or photo of delicious food!


In honor of this new series, I thought it would be fun to start it off right with dessert! This is the dessert I made for our family for Valentine's Day this year. It is Southern Style Strawberry Shortcake!

Note: I made this dessert, and purchased all of the ingredients myself!

Homemade French Toast

Hey everyone!

Since I have really started to get into cooking, I decided to whip up an awesome breakfast for me and my mom! The other morning, I created french toast! This was my first time doing it, and I was impressed with the results.


For the egg mixture that you dunk the bread into I used...

~2 eggs
~1/3 cup milk
~A pinch of nutmeg
~A hefty dash of cinnamon
~1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whisk all of these ingredients together until well combined. This mixture was perfect for 4 slices of bread.


Then, I dunked in my breadslices, making sure to give each slice 15 seconds on each side to absorb the liquid. After that, I placed the slices into a skillet on medium heat with 2 tablespoons of butter to help the browning process.


Watch your bread closely, once the first side has browned nicely, flip them over and cook the other side.


Once your french toast is completely cooked, serve it up with powdered sugar and maple syrup!

Easy and yummy!

XoXo,
Whitney
