French Toast, It’s Easier Than You Think

March 27th, 2009 by Lilan

For me, having French toast was something I treated myself to when we went out for breakfast because I always thought they were so hard to make. Little did I know, they’re so easy!

Today, I made a batch of French toast using cinnamon bread I got at Trader Joe’s. Just dip each slice in a mixture of egg, milk and cinnamon and place into a frying pan over medium heat and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.

Serve warm topped with a little powdered sugar and maple syrup, mmm. The Boyfriend had his with scrambled eggs and breakfast links while I opted for just the French toast and some pineapple.

What are your favorite breakfast splurges whether you go out or stay home?

Grilled Cheese Sammies

March 26th, 2009 by Lilan

I don’t know what it is about grilled cheese sandwiches that makes them so good. Oh wait, yes I do..

Sourdough bread buttered and toasted to perfection with warm American and gruyere cheeses oozing out the middle. And, it’s one of the only meals where a side of chips is okay. Today’s choice? Salt and vinegar POP Chips. Yumm…

Let Island Michael Kors Bermuda Take You There

March 26th, 2009 by Lilan

A couple of weeks ago, we booked a cruise to the Mexican Riviera for the Boyfriend’s 30th birthday. I’m super excited to get away for a week of sun, sitting poolside and drinking too much – but unfortunately for us, we’re not going until November (boo).

Yesterday I was feeling especially giddy about our upcoming vacation and although I was sad to be was stuck in the city, I knew just how to remedy my city slicker mood and transport myself to warmer climates.

Island Michael Kors Bermuda ($62 US) is a new fragrance filled with floral goodness like freesia, hibiscus, pink peony and jasmine mixed with driftwood and cedarwood to capture an island paradise. Just two spritzes makes me feel like I’m on vacation already.
