French Toast - Peanut Butter & Jam

Ingredients:
- 10 bread slices
- Peanut Butter
- Raspberry Jam (or any of your choice)
- 3 eggs
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp butter

Preparation:
1. Start by spreading peanut butter on 5 of your bread slices, then your jam on the other 5 slices.
2. Combine each peanut butter bread slice with the jam slices to make a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Cut each sandwiches in 4.
3. In a bowl, beat your eggs and in another bowl, mix the sugar and the cinnamon powder.
4. In a pan, melt the butter at medium heat. 
5. Dip each of your peanut butter and jam pieces into the eggs, make sure they are entirely covered and place them in your hot pan.
6. Let your toast pieces fry about 2-3 minutes on each side until they're golden then dip them in the cinnamon sugar, cover them entirely and place them in a plate.
7. Repeat the process until all your peanut butter and jam french toasts are ready. enjoy!

Sn-Comments:
* If you're not a peanut butter and jam fan, you can replace it with anything you like or just make it plain. but, p.s: nutella ones are to die for!
* I had some leftover sandwiches in my fridge, which I used for this recipe. great way to recycle the sandwiches you didn't eat the day or two before. + works for savoury sandwiches as well ! just dip them in some spice/herb/cheese instead of the cinnamon sugar :)

- 2 tbsp flour
- Pepper
- Salt

Preparation:
1. Boil the water, and add a little salt.
2. When the water bubbles, add your spinach and let it boil for fifteen minutes.
3. When your spinachs are ready, put them in your blender + save about a cup of the spinach stock, and throw the rest away.
4. In a pot, melt the butter at medium heat then add the garlic paste.
5. Add the flour to the garlic-butter and let it get a little brown.
6. Add the milk, the pepper and stir it until it gets a creamier texture.

8. Stir it all a little bit, add your salt and once it's warm, serve it with some crackers.

Sweet Cream-Cheese


Ingredients:
- 200g cream cheese (e.g Philadelphia)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 200g icing/confectionary sugar (more or less depending on your taste)

Preparation:
- In a bowl, lightly beat the cheese to soften it a bit.
- Add the heavy cream and continue to beat two or three minutes, then gradually add the icing sugar until everything is well mixed, the sugar no longer forms clumps and the cream is smooth.
- Once ready, you can refrigerate and store your cream to use it later.

Sn Comments:
* I personally use Philadelphia for this. If you try other cheeses, let me know :)
* The cream cheese makes a delicious topping for carrot cake or red velvet. It is perfect for a fruity desert, and above all, for a delicious cheesecake! You will see in further recipes!
