Egg muffins

Here is a great on the go breakfast idea. We make these most weeks and vary what we include.

You will need:

• Eggs I used 3 which made 12 muffins
• Bacon
• Peppers
• Mushrooms
• Salt,pepper and garlic

You can use any ingredients you like for this. Start by cooking you filling on the stove top. 

Once these are cooked add them into a bowl with you beaten eggs. Oil your muffin pan or use cupcake cases if you like and spoon the mixture evenly into them. I have a fan assisted oven and I cooked these for 15minutes at 180 degrees. Cook these until a knife comes out clean. Once cooked place on a wire rack to cool if you are not eating straight away. These can be stored in the fridge for a few days or frozen and taken out the night before you want them. Let me know if you try these. Claire

Last weeks food

Here are a few pictures of some of our meals from last week.

What did you eat this week? Have you done a meal plan?

Slow cooker porridge

We love porridge in our house. The most economical way for us to buy them is by getting rolled oats however these take a while to cook. By doing your porridge in the slow cooker you can make enough to feed everyone in your household for at least a few days depending on the size of your slow cooker.

You will need,

• Rolled oats
• Milk of your choice or water if you prefer 
• Fruit - I used flame raisins and apple
• Optional- flaxseed, seeds, cinnamon, allspice 

I find using double the amount of liquid to oats is the right texture for us once it's cooked. I used 2 and a half cups of oats and 5 cups of almond milk. Place this is your slow cooked and add the fruit. If using fruit such as an apple of pear I would recommend either grating or cutting up finely. Cook on low until everything comes together and serve with honey or maple syrup if needed. 

Many different combinations can be used for this recipe so play around. Claire
