French toast with bacon and maple syrup

Posted by Gary

I think bacon and maple syrup go hand in hand like waffles and ice cream

What can be simpler than beating some eggs with some cream. I add a pinch of salt and some brown sugar to the mix before soaking my bread. Ideally I would have used a thick slice of brioche but all I had this morning was some Helga’s pumpkin seed bread. Perhaps not the best for French toast but hey I’m not complaining. 

The streaky bacon was just cooked in the bench top oven. When the toast was ready in the frying pan I added the bacon and poured a generous amount of maple syrup on the bacon. I like a bit of ground cinnamon too.

How to make a bacon and egg pie

Posted by Gary

It looks pretty rough but this bacon and egg pie tasted good.

Before I went on my driving holiday (aka vanilla slice crawl) I shared a number of posts based on some sheets of puff pastry I bought. Check out the links below 🙂 

I had one sheet left which I thought I may as well use.

Fish tacos or fishy scrolls

Posted by Gary

A lot of blogs seem to feature fish tacos and when I looked up fish tacos on Google I found some other meanings for fish tacos

These fishy scrolls were dead easy to make. Now I know what regular readers are thinking, Gary has used puff pastry for three nights in a row. What’s up with that?

Well I bought a six pack of puff pastry sheets so they have to be used.

The fish is canned red salmon. I mixed in some avocado and smoked cheddar cheese plus a line of chilli flakes and fried onions with lots of pepper.

Pork sausage and bacon roll recipe

Posted by Gary

I watched a friend at work eat a sausage roll today and it got me thinking.

In the refrigerator were some pork sausages and some streaky bacon. I just needed some pastry. 

On the way home I stopped at the supermarket and bought some. 

It made me think about the blogs I read. I follow a lot of blogs. Mostly food blogs and some photography blogs. The food ones are split into healthy (aspiration), sweets (indulgence) and blokey food (my natural habitat). Good examples of who to follow are healthy Jen and Fran at Lovennourish, the sweet and delicious Veronica at short and sweet, and then there’s John from Happiness Stan Lives Here.
