Cozyland, Ep 2 - Here Comes the Bad Accent

This is episode 2: Here Comes the Bad Accent

Escape to Cozyland! Your hosts Amy and Melissa have a lot in common, music, podcasting, a love of mysteries... and the not-so-guilty pleasure of cozy films and tv shows.

Each week we'll chat about new and upcoming tv shows and movies coming to what we like to call Cozyland!

So, grab those fuzzy socks, some snacks, and the tv remote, and join us in escaping the real world for a spell.

In this episode we talked about the first episode in the Hallmark movie series, The Wedding Veil. We also talked about bad accents, Hallmark hunks, and a little more about Christmas Hallmark movies and also their cozy mystery movies, which we’ll be covering more in future episodes.

This episode was recorded on December 28, 2022 and released on January 8, 2023.

Cozyland Pina Colada French Toast

For the pineapple:

1-1 ½ cups of pineapple chunks (fresh is best but canned works too)

1 tbsp butter

Melt the butter in a skillet then add the pineapple, cook until pineapple softens and turns golden.

For the Coconut Syrup:

1/2 c. butter

¾ c. milk

1 c. sugar

½ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. coconut extract

Put butter, milk, and sugar in a medium - large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil for one minute then remove from heat.

While stirring constantly, add baking soda and coconut extract until mixture is homogeneous. The mixture may bubble up. 

Set aside while cooking French Toast.

For the french toast:

2 eggs

2/3 c. milk

pinch salt

½ tsp. Vanilla

4 thick slices of French bread

1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla together until well blended then pour into a shallow bowl.

Place bread slices in the bowl and let sit until the egg/milk mixture has been soaked up (you can flip the bread part way through to ensure both sides soak up the mixture)

Melt butter in a hot skillet, and add bread slices. Let cook until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook until the other side is done (depending on the size of your skillet you may need to cook the bread slices in batches).

Place french toast on a plate, add cooked pineapple chunks on top and drizzle with coconut syrup.

Enjoy!
