Egg Muffins

My angels have a quirky way of helping me.

I realised for a long time that to eat 'cleaner' & healthier, i needed to cook my own food. BUT i was addicted to the YUMMY sugar, calorie-laden and processed food that is sumptious & abundant in Malaysia.

But for the past month i hv been cooking and eating more self-cooked food and starting to enjoy it. WHY the change? Mom became intolerant to outside food - her delicate tummy was giving her problems, so i hd to cook for her less spicy, less oily & less sugary meals.

At first, i would do that for her and still go out to get my food 'fix'. And on day i was watching Marion's Thailand and she showed how easy to make 'som tum' (green papaya spicy salad) and 'laab het' (assorted mushroom salad) and introduced the 'boat noodle'

That got me excited now i'm back to creating recipes that i will eat inspired by Marion and whatever ingredients i currently hv in my larder & fridge. It's a practical approach since fresh foods dont keep well. So menu of the day is dictated by what veg n ingredients needs to be eaten first!

Here's wonderfully simple recipe shared by Deserve Better Fitness on Facebook that is easy to make, uses fresh ingredients/ leftovers and can be freezed,



Batter is beaten eggs and a little milk only.
