good muffin'!!!

... I guess nothing beats waking up to the smell of a hearty breakfast on a weekend. With the scent of bacon, eggs, fried rice and coffee wafting and enticing you out of bed after more that eight hours of well deserved sleep who would not have a great day ahead!?!

... last friday (weekends in Abu Dhabi, UAE or in the Middle East for that matter is on friday and saturday as opposed to saturday and sunday in other parts of the world) in an attempt to put a twist on the standard morning fare, I decided to make a breakfast 'muffin'. Nope don't be scared, I did not attempt to bake on a lazy friday morning - I just skipped using my frying pan...

Bacon and Egg 'Muffins"

Ingredients:
2 strips of bacon
2 eggs
2 slices of white bread
salt and pepper
chopped steamed veggies (optional)


How to:
- grease 2 holes of a medium sized muffin pan
- flatten the bread with a rolling pin, and cut to fit the bottom of the muffin holes
- line the bacon strips along the insides of the muffin holes to make a 'collar'
-crack an egg onto the muffin holes, you can add your steamed veggies as long as the egg doesn't overflow out of the holes, season with salt and pepper
- bake for 10-15 minutes at 275F or until yolks are cooked according to your liking



mmmm...muffin!

beefy buns

Nothing goes well with a big bowl of hot and hearty beef noodle soup than soft and fluffy steamed buns!  This dish reminds me of my childhood fascination of the vibrancy of a busy marketplace. During summer vacation, before going to work, my mom would take us to the market to buy our meals for the day and the corner noodle shop was often than not our main stop. We would order a couple of servings of beef noodles and steamed buns... I would often discreetly watch the people inside the shop - fascinated by the diversity of the patrons coming and going. There are families dinning out for a treat... couples maybe on a date... lone diners and working people like my mom dressed in office uniforms. Our take away package seems to come too quick for me to enjoy my time people watching and making my self dizzy going round and round on the bar stools. With a plop the server would hand us bulging bags full of hot soup and that would be the signal ending my market adventure as my mom would

Puto-ing it healthier!

I am one with a big appetite. I love to eat … and though I try to be physically active with sports and exercise, part of taking care of oneself is watching what we eat. I try to make healthy food choices and tweak recipes to satisfy my cravings with a little less guilt. I have recently tried using whole wheat flour in baking and while I am yet to perfect breadmaking here's a healthier version of the beloved Filipino steamed cake we call PUTO! Whole wheat flour has more fiber and vitamin content than white flour. Whole-wheat flour contains several vitamins, including folate, riboflavin and vitamins B-1, B-3 and B-5. Substituting whole wheat flour for refined flour helps us get the nutritional benefits with out sacrificing the foods you love, so give it a go! Whole Wheat Puto Ingredients: - 1 cup wheat flour - 1 cup milk - 4 tbsp sugar - 1 tbsp butter - 1egg - a pinch of salt - your choice of flavorings (pandan, vanilla, ube) - your choice of toppings (salted egg, cheese) Ho
