Summer Brunch

It's not yet summer, but it sure is hot enough! This morning I made a quick, easy brunch for my boyfriend and I to enjoy on my patio. I made a favorite of mine: cinnamon toast. My dad used to make this for my brothers and I quite frequently growing up. Recently I remembered it at the school dining hall and was pleased with how easy it was to make! (It seemed so fancy as a little kid)

Here's all you do:

1. Generously butter some toast. I used some delicious homemade bread, mm! Why not try cinnamon raisin toast for a sweeter treat?
2. Put the toast on a pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Butter should be fully absorbed into the bread, and the bread will be a little golden.
3. Sprinkle on sugar and cinnamon.
4. Enjoy the easiest and sweetest breakfast food ever!

The whole brunch! 

Cinnamon toast

June means strawberries! My favorite way to enjoy them (besides right off the vine) is to cut them up and lightly sugar them. Nothing beats it!

Scrambled eggs and turkey bits

Not a bad way to start a Tuesday :)

Summer Reading List

One of my favorite things about summer is the reading possibilities. I finally have a chance to spend the entire day devoted to a book. I have the tendency to check out far too many books at once, as you can tell. Then the books just taunt me on my dresser!

So far I'm halfway through Mr. Fox, and I would highly recommend it. It's such a different love story than anyone I've encountered before.

What are you reading this summer?

Sweet Summer Chicken

Here's an easy chicken recipe that's perfect after a tiring summer day. It was so easy to make, and allows for playing around with flavor.

Ingredients:

• chicken
• salt
• pepper
• parsley
• honey

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Put a piece of parchment on a pan and place the chicken on the pan. Marinade the salt, pepper, and parsley. I used more pepper than salt because I enjoy the flavor more, but that's my personal taste. Play around with it! Next put a generous drop of honey on the chicken. Again, more honey results in sweeter chicken. Cook the chicken for 35 minutes. Time may need to be adjusted depending on the oven, chicken, etc. 

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Liv
