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!

Thai in a jiffy

Probably the thing I love most about traveling is the culinary adventures - the hunt for that ever famous restaurant and finding out what the fuss is all about or just stumbling upon some hidden gem of a food joint with the tastiest most authentic dishes gives me more thrills than finding a bargain at the malls.  A year ago I am fortunate enough to travel to Bangkok Thailand with my family and boy did we eat! me and my dad were even brave enough to snack on fried crickets! yes crickets! I thought it would be icky but when you get pass the fact that they are once moving bugs you get know that they taste like crispy fried shrimps, kind of sweet and crunchy, it was good enough for me! I was kinda missing Thai food and so stumbling upon an instant Pad Thai pack at the grocers I had a quick idea of making a Thai themed Thursday dinner.

loaf-ing around

I had forgotten about a quarter loaf of bread I bought a couple of days before and thought of making chocolate bread pudding before the molds kick in. I searched for a suitable recipe that does not require too much igredients as I don't feel like going to the grocery, I came across a ham and cheese bread pudding which I decided to make so I'd have something for breakfast. Ham and Cheese Bread Pudding ingredients: - 4 slices of bread - 1 egg - 1 cup of milk - 1/2 cup of cooked cubed ham - 1/2 cup cubed cheese - salt and pepper how to: - cut the slices of bread into cubes, place in a big bowl and combine with the ham and cheese - beat the egg and mix in half of the milk. - pour milk mixture into the bread and mix until moistened, add more milk gradually if needed - season with salt and pepper - bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees or until edges are browned and center in spongy easy breakfast!
