Cornflake-crusted french toast, crunchier than the diner version

Cornflake-crusted french toast, crunchier than the diner version

Made this for the kids on Saturday morning. Egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, plus crushed cornflakes for the coating. Dip the bread (Texas toast, brioche, or challah all work), press into the crumbs, skillet about 3 min a side.

The crunch holds up through butter and syrup, which is the whole point of doing it this way. Cook in batches and keep finished slices warm in a low oven.

Super yummy - does anyone do something similar on weekends? What variations of this do you do and highly recommend?? Thanks in advance!

Creamy shrimp and dill salad, no cooking, stuffs into a pita

Made a big batch of this for lunches this week. Cooked shrimp, mayo, lemon, a bit of lime, fresh dill, green onions, celery, black pepper. One bowl, no heat. Chill 30 min and it's ready.

Stuffs into pita pockets without going soggy. The lime is what keeps it from tasting heavy.

Literally one step:

Combine the 3 lb cooked shrimp3 green onions, chopped2 celery, chopped1 cup mayonnaise2 lemons, juiced1 lime, juiced1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and ground black pepper (to taste) in a large bowl, toss to coat evenly, then refrigerate until chilled.

This has been amazing this week - anyone have any fun variations on this they have tried? I'd love to experiment a bit.
