Fruity English Muffin Breakfast

I'm a huge savory girl, especially for breakfast. I just can't have sweet muffins for breakfast. No matter how sweet it will make my day...

So. I made these as the "dessert" of my breakfast. The savory version's the one with smoked salmon & cream cheese.

Don't you love English muffins? They're wonderfully chewy and even more delicious when buttered and toasted!

Even when I do sweet version, it needs to have a bit of savory touch, so here we go.. the vulgar shot!

What's in this sinful breakfast?
"Recipe"
Butter and toast English muffins, slather generously with peanut butter, add hazelnut spread (e.g. Nutella), add fresh berries (I used strawberries and blueberries), dust a bit of icing sugar, and serve. I like mine with black coffee or unsweetened tea.

I still have more English muffin combos... please bear with me ^_^
I bought a pack and there are only 3 of us, so we had to eat them a few days straight. Not that we're complaining. We love English muffins!

Nutella Cheesecake with Peanut Butter Crust FAIL

Failure is merely a delayed success.
That's what I keep telling myself every time.

The idea is not too bad, but the execution is crap. I made too much crust (I used only half of the whole thing I made, and look at it, it's half of the whole cheesecake!) and it falls apart even after a night of staying in the fridge. Ugh. And I didn't put enough Nutella in the cheesecake batter. Sigh...

Ah well...better luck next time ^_^

Peanut Butter & Nutella Muffins - I'm A Blue & White Junkie

In between crazy work days, checking out the new flat's progress and mad rush packing, I still had the time to smile happily at my blue and whites, stroking them with love, as I carefully, painstakingly wrapped them, individually with bubble wrap. I just love them so much, it is surprising that I didn't paint my whole new flat blue and white.

Look what I've found at the bottom of my harddisk?
Peanut Butter & Nutella Muffins

How could I keep these babies in the corner? PB & N, they are one of my favorite combos ever!
Recipe
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (and more for filling)
- 2 tbsp nutella (and more for filling)
- 1 egg white (you can include the yolk if you want to)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- a dash of vanilla
- 2/3 cup plain yoghurt

Preheat oven to 180C. Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl, except peanut butter and nutella. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mix a bit, add peanut butter and nutella, whisk until just combined. Pour batter into muffin tray lined with paper cups half way, spoon a bit of peanut butter and nutella in the middle, top off with more batter until 3/4 full, bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Imagine biting into them, right in the middle where the warm peanut butter and nutella filling are...that's sick!

Blue and White Addiction
Now, how do I feed my blue and white addiction? Gawd, Hong Kong is a heaven full of them! Living here feels like a drug addict passing by numerous dealers offering goods at unbelievably low prices all the time, and it ain't easy resisting all the temptations.


This is one of my favorite blue and white joints, look at all those adorable beauties. They look so sad not being bought...all of them are calling my name, begging me to take them home...


Maybe after I get myself a bigger storage so that you can all live more comfortably, my babies...so long...

The shop is in Soho's Elgin St, Central.
Go on, but don't go crazy like me.
