CHEESY BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH JAM & SALTED BUTT

CHEESY BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH JAM & SALTED BUTTER ⠀
⠀
We’ve escaped to France for the week to see one of my friends get married and take a little break from reality. I’m someone who finds it reeeeally hard to stop {anyone else with me in that camp?!}. And if I’m honest I’ve felt resistance to taking time out. ⠀
⠀
But I’m starting to understand that it’s ok to hustle harrrddd, but you also need to have moments where you’re rediscovering and reconnecting with yourself *and* taking some time out. Rest is ESSENTIAL and a healthy part of showing up as your best self in the times you need to. ⠀
⠀
👩🏼‍🎨 It makes you more creative⠀
☺️ It makes you happier⠀
🤒 It makes you healthier ⠀
🙌🏼 It doesn’t make you less successful ⠀
✨ It helps you reconnect with yourself⠀
👩🏼‍💻 You’ll have better focus and concentration when you do return to work ⠀
☁️ Your memory will be better ⠀
💕 It helps you gain perspective as to what’s important in life ⠀
⠀
Learn to REST not QUIT. When things seem bonkers and your head feels like it’s going to fall off and you have scatter brain, *that’s* when you need to stop and take time out. Embrace the hustle, but remember to embrace the chance to unwind. Don’t operate from a place of scarcity 🙏🏼 ⠀
⠀
Making this cheesy brioche French toast this morning because, France. And because we bought fresh brioche from the boulangerie. Recipe by @sweetish.co ❤️ ⠀

🥧 What kinda pie person are you? ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always been a sucker for my Omi’s German apple cake, and am thinking of reinventing it for pie season. ⠀⠀⠀
This recipe has been in the family for as long as I can remember, but I came across it whilst leafing through a cake-splattered @libertylondon recipe book. Scrawled in blue biro in the top right hand corner of the page was the date: September 1989. Swipe for the recipe ➡️⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
This was the cake she’d always make for us, and I’m so glad my mum translated her recipe and saved it so we can make it over and over again 30 years later. ⠀⠀⠀
I have a more comprehensive recipe on my blog if you search ‘German apple cake’. Would love to know if you’d like to see more pie recipes for the coming months 👇🏼 let me know below!⠀⠀
