Breakfast For Dinner and Essie Love

Last night to cap off our weekend I convinced the hubby to have breakfast for dinner. Does anyone else love that besides me? I can con him into breakfast for din {or, brenner as I like to call it} about one time a year, so we made sure it was a good one. My meal of choice? French Toast. He added that if he was having French Toast for dinner then he was definitely adding sausage and bacon, too. Not a problem.


Sorry for the bad photo. This was devoured quickly!

Here is my recipe:

FRENCH TOAST
-2/3 cup milk
-4 eggs
-2 tsp ground cinnamon
-Bread
-Butter for the frying pan
-Maple syrup and powdered sugar for topping

-Beat milk, eggs and cinnamon in a small bowl.
-Transfer mixture to shallow dish
-Heat large frying pan over medium heat with a few tablespoons of butter
-Dip each piece of bread {both sides} into mixture and add to pan
-Cook on both sides until done
-Slice, serve and top with preferred toppings

In my book, French Toast is not French Toast with out powdered sugar on top. That's the way I grew up eating it and I can't have it with out! I wish I would've remembered some fresh berries to top with also, but next time that will happen.

ESSIE LOVING...

My Mom and I got a manicure and polish change for our pedicures this Saturday, a great way to spend the afternoon out of the blasting hot weather we have had. I have two new favorite colors!

We both got this for our manicures and I am obsessed. Essie describes it perfectly as a beachy sand pink with hints of sheer shimmer. Absolutely perfect.



This was my pedicure color and it is hands down my favorite coral I have come across. THE perfect coral/pink that isn't too bright as I start to lose my tan.

Side note, we ran by the drug store before our manis to buy the colors we wanted instead of using the salons colors. I am thrilled to add them to our stash! 

How was everyone your weekend? Hope y'all have a wonderful start to your week! 
xoxo.

Yum! That french toast looks so good! I also love both of those Essie colors. I usually get the Ballet Slippers color on my nails but I'm really loving the Hamptons color too! Have a great Monday!

My fiance doesn't like breakfast for dinner either, but I do! So, like you, it only happens once or twice a year. Love the Essie colors you picked out!

Ooooh I love breakfast for dinner (or pretty much any other time)! The nail polish colors are all too cute.

Too funny, my mom made us french toast this past weekend. It was dressed with syrup and some fresh blueberries. Umm so good! I love pink polish, it's so girly!
