Sunday Morning

Hey Divas!  Just thought I'd share a great recipe I found over at ...love Maegan months ago...and since then, it's been one of my favorites.   French Toast using Sweet Hawaiin Bread.  What a way to start my Sunday morning!

Have a great week and stay fabulous Divas!

-Beat 2 large eggs with a splash of milk {or milk-like substance}

 -Mix batter together until frothy

-Grease heated skillet (or you can use a non-stick pan)

-Dip slices of bread into batter and place in skillet  (make sure all areas of bread are covered but NOT SOGGY.  Don't let that bread sit in bowl) 

-Sprinkle with cinnamon

-Turn when golden brown

-IMMEDIATELY add butter and sprinkle powdered sugar while the butter has just melted ( I also added fresh strawberries)

cupcakes AND muffins

Hey Divas!  A couple of days ago while looking through Cupcakes and Muffins....one of my many recipe books....I ran across these Fresh Strawberry and Cream Muffins.   Soooo...early this morning I decided to bake these tasty summer treats before hitting the streets.  This recipe is super easy and only takes around 30-35 minutes total.  

Pre-heat the oven to 400° F/200° C.  Grease a 12- hole muffin pan.  Chop the strawberries into small pieces.  Sift together  the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.  Stir in the sugar and chopped strawberries.  Place the eggs in a large pitcher or bowl and lightly beat, then beat in the light cream, oil, and vanilla extract.

 Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten liquid ingredients.  Stir gently until just combined; do not over mix.  Spoon the batter into the muffin pan.  Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until well risen, golden brown, and firm to the touch.  Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Cream - Place the heavy cream in a bowl and whip until stiff.  (I added a little powdered sugar to sweeten the cream to my liking) When the muffins are cold, pipe or spread the cream on top of each muffin, then top with a small strawberry.

Enjoy!

California Strawberry Festival

Hey Divas!  This weekend my bestie and I cruised the coast and headed down to the 28th annual California Strawberry Festival  in celebration of all things Strawberry.  The festival sells everything from strawberry beer to strawberry pizza and even strawberry nachos. It was kinda hard walking...eating...and trying to take pics..so I didn't get a chance to take pics of a lot of other food/drinks we consumed... such as strawberry margaritas, strawberry champagne, we built our own strawberry shortcakes and finished it all off with chocolate strawberries.  Wheeeeew!   The college is also filled with vendors golore, rides, arts and crafts and live entertainment for your enjoyment!  If you're a strawberry lover like I am....this was definitely the place to be!!

Have a Great Week!
