Cute as a muffin!  Eggs power protein! Lite, oil-free,  healthy. Easy peasy.  🥚 Tools & Ingredients All you need are: Eggs Water Shallow pan with lid Steam cups / ramekins Preferred toppings- salt, pepper, chili flakes 🥚 Steps On medium heat, pour water enough to cover the steam cups 1/3 of the way. Wait for the water to boil in the shallow pan. Crack each egg into the steam cups. Once the water is rapidly boiling, carefully place the steam cups into the pan. Cover with lid. Steam for 3 minutes for soft boiled runny eggs, or 6 minutes for well-cooked eggs. With a strainer ladle, remove the cups, and let cool for a wee bit. Serve as is in cups or without, either way its delish! Enjoy! Here's one we enjoyed on a weekeeeeend brunch. After the steam bath! ♨️

It's a carrot cake but without the carrots and the cake batter. 🐇"Eh...What's up, doc?", the carrot-luvin' bunnies would likely ask. In these times of fake news and filtered data, let me just confirm that this is legit. 👌 Here in Singapore, the delicious dish called "Carrot Cake"  has absolutely no resemblance to the Western carrot cake. 😁 A perfect example of how fascinating food gets from different parts of the world. Exhibit: Carrot Cake of SouthEast Asia   versus  Carrot Cake of the West   source: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/carrot-cake-recipe-recipe-2011777 They are literally world's apart! The unique misnomer came about because of: a loose English-from-Hokkien translation of "radish pastry" of a dish called "chai tow (carrot or radish) kway (cake) Radish, one of its main ingredients, can also refer to a carrot, literally "red radish" in Southeast Asian countries.  -Wikipedia   I would describe it as an Asian ...

Shakshuka!!! In my kids' world, it may well be the battlecry of the squad of teeny but brave Toy Story soldiers, on the offensive! 🤯  "Oorah!" This time, Alexa tells me that it is derived from an Arabic word meaning "a mixture" or "shaken". Hmm. Fascinating. The "Shake Shack" is how I might loosely translate it 😜, mind map style. This is a dish hailing all the way from North Africa / Middle East.  Its recipe popped up in my YouTube feed months ago. And since then, I've whipped it up in our kitchen maybe 5 times already.  Consistently, it got good reviews from the hungry mouths here in our home :). Personally, I like this dish because (1) it is really easy to make, (2) poached eggs in tomato-ey sauce, hello! what's not to like there, and, (3) the flavor profile is just so interesting and so unlike the usual fare that my family has. So here you go...hope each soulful spoonful  takes you, as it has taken my precious 5, beyond the pande...

If I've not mentioned it already, my little family is in love with chicken  🐔  eggs. 😍 We do not have the  e99y as our beloved padre de pamilya for no reason at all.  Omelette, sunny side up, egg sandwich, deviled eggs, scotch eggs, adobo eggs, salted eggs, egg soup, oh the list does go on!  Another of our favorite take is steamed Eggy Pie . Much-loved by my brood, this one is perfect for merienda in school and at work or right in the comfort of home.  Dessert? Easily so! Simple and delicious, this is also a no-bake recipe. Instead of oven, only a steamer  is needed. And THAT makes it an absolute keeper in my recipe list!  😎 Steamed Eggy Pie Serving size: 8-inch pan 1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter 2 tbsp sugar 3 large eggs 1 cup evaporated milk 3/4 cup condensed milk Vanilla essence Prepare the crust: 1. Mash and mix the dry ingredients below.     1 +  1/2 cup all-purpose flour   ...
