Sunday Morning French Toast
French toast is super easy to make and a great way to use up bread that is starting to go stale. This French toast has a bit of sugar in the egg mixture which adds a bit of sweetness and helps you get a crispy golden crust on the outside. What kind of bread should you use? The best kind of bread to use is something like a thick sliced French bread. You get a nice fluffy piece of French toast the is soft on the inside with a crisp outside.

The Best Spicy Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms
This spicy pasta has a creamy tomato based sauce. The chilli flakes give a nice heat that you can adjust to your preferred spice level. Pasta is one of my favourite things to make as a uni student. Its both quick and easy to make and doesn’t cost a lot. However, I don’t have pasta every night of the week, so if I buy a jar of pasta sauce then it usually goes off before I can use it up. Making your own sauce means you can control how much you make, and trust me its a lot easier than you think! This pasta originally started as just a spicy…

It’s something nice to keep me warm on the rainy English days. RELATED: Easy Mac n Cheese

This simple mushroom risotto is the perfect recipe to get you started.

Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipe
This Mac and Cheese recipe has been one of my favourite things to make in university. When I can’t decide what to make or can’t be bothered to spend half an hour cooking this is my go to! It doesn’t take any longer to make than the boxed stuff and only a little more effort, and it tastes so good!

Spinach and Mushroom Crepes
So I’ve discovered that the English consider crepes pancakes and what I would call a pancake they refer to as American pancakes. Everyone in my flat disagrees with this including my flatmate from France who says crepes and pancakes are two different things. Instead, we’ve come to the conclusion the English are weird. Anyways, how this came about was for pancake day we decided to make pancakes and crepes for dinner. We decided on savory crepes for dinner and pancakes for dessert. We didn’t have a recipe in mind so we just started throwing whatever we had in the fridge together. The crepes were so good that we ended up…

Super Easy Homemade Pizza
When I got home from the library yesterday I had no idea what to make for supper. I wanted something easy and I was really tempted to pull out the frozen pizza or microwavable meals I have in my freezer but I’m supposed to be saving those for closer to my exams when I’m drowning in work and absolutely can not be bothered to cook. But the pizza was really tempting me. Then I realized that I could actually just make some pizza (and let’s be honest it turned out better than the frozen one). This recipe was so easy and honestly the most satisfying pizza I’ve had in a…
