It happens every year around this time, but I ‘m ready for fall now! It is at least 105 everyday, and it is taking a toll on me, the plants…everything!
Anyways, this week was another fast one that flew by. My husband is off for part of the week days now, so it has thrown my schedule off a little. I posted the picture above on instagram, but had some questions about the recipe. I wanted to share it here!
My husband is a huge fan of french toast, so I love making him a dairy-free version. The base of this was 2 cups almond milk, 2 tsp vanilla extract (homemade), 2 tbsp coconut sugar, 2 egg, 1 tsp cinnamon. That homemade extract really brings out the flavor on these!
I had to fast for some blood work this week, which meant no morning coffee. The minute I got done with my appointment, I stopped at my mom’s house. She poured me some coffee in this mug because it is literally the truth lol
Despite the intense heat, my crepe myrtles look so pretty right now. They do so good in hot, dry weather! This is the view from my kitchen window right now. I love those little pink flowers.
I was working on a post for next week (chemist solution for carpet cleaning!) and Ruger was not too happy about me cleaning the carpet. He prefers things dirty!
I can’t get enough of this overnight oatmeal recipe! I have been having it all week because it is so quick and easy. Plus perfect for hot weather too.
I’ve got some fun new projects to share next week, so see you then!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, hopefully not too hot! Enjoy!

Ugh, I am right there with you girl. I am SO ready for fall but I know I won’t be seeing cooler temperatures for at least another 2 months. Blah. That French toast has me drooling this morning… Happy Friday! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

Ugh I know! We typically get cooler weather at the end of October! But I look forward to it already 🙂 Happy Friday!

Happy Friday… count me in as done with summer, ready for fall/cooler weather. The constant warmer weather dries me up – lol. And the foliage/plants around me. Our cooler weather will start in late September… sigh… hurry up fall. And all the pretty colors… Have a good weekend…
Alexis says
I am ready for it too! Everything is just withering away in this heat. I love fall colors so much!!! Have a great weekend!

I haven’t made french toast in years but your recipe sounds delicious and not soaked with calories! Ruger is too cute and I love how bulldogs sit with their small legs.
Alexis says
This is a really great recipe for french toast and not bad for you either 🙂 I love their little legs too, so silly! Have a great weekend girl!
Sheryl says
That face Ruger is making is adorable!! My cats prefer things dirty too! Hope you have some cooler weather soon and that it’s a great weekend.
Alexis says
He does have such a sweet little face 🙂 You too! Hope it’s a wonderful weekend!

Dairy-free french toast!!! I’m in! I hope you don’t melt away in that 105* heat! Goodness!
Alexis says
It is so good! You don’t even miss the dairy 🙂 Have a great weekend!

So I hopped over to your blog from ALiz Adventures and your pop up notices for a newsletter or Facebook are so annoying that I’m sorry I won’t be back.
Alexis says
I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ve never had anyone complain about this in the two years I’ve had it up. I only have one sidebar popup that comes on the left side. My readers are very kind and supportive and love coming here to learn my chemist tips. Thanks for coming by today, enjoy your weekend 🙂
Sheridan says
I love this post and can’t wait for cooler weather and fall! I also love having my morning coffee! I follow you on snapchat as well and Ruger is so dang cute!
Alexis says
I can’t wait either! Yay for fall! Ruger is such a sweet (and silly) guy 🙂 Have a great Sunday!
