Grill Fail

In an attempt to get back in the swing of things, I tried to make my favorite recipe so far: Grilled Chicken Sausage with zucchini. I'm still a little perplexed as to what I did wrong, but the sausage was BURNT. I turned my back for a second and it was just...bad! I mixed it up anyway, hoping that all the juice from the tomatoes would bring back a little moisture, but it was just bad. My roommate, bless her heart, came home and picked out the sausage, grilled some veggie sausage she had made and we were going to add that back to the saute...but that burned TOO!

Still puzzled as to how that happened. But I'm back in the saddle again, so that's something.

French Toast fail

So drawing inspiration from Zesty's Super Star Toast, I decided to make myself breakfast the other day, but thought I could improve his method just a bit with FRENCH toast. He made an amazing looking piece of toast with peanut butter, bananas, and blueberries. I didn't have any blueberries on hand, so I decided to put just peanut butter and bananas on french toast.

Result? Mushy mess. Zesty knew what he was doing putting it on regular toast...the french toast just got really soggy. The flavors weren't too bad, and I got it down with a big glass of milk, but I really think next time I'll stick to regular toast. It'll hold up to the peanut butter better, I think, and give some contrast in texture, instead of the plate o' mush that I got. It didn't even make pretty photographs.

I'm pretty sure the french toast on its own would have been delicious...I mixed up egg and milk with a splash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It just didn't hold up to the peanut butter very well at all.

Lesson learned! Sticking with the toast next time.
