Healthy Honey carrot pancake

A slightly twist on traditional pancake..now you have no excuse to not eat veggies .. Cas this honey carrot pancake would surely blow your mind off. This pancake is not only low in fat, low in sugar content but also very high in vitamin A due to the addition of carrot. If you are still kinda nervous to try, let me tell you something: it tastes like carrot cake, but in a pancake form. By the way, I found it needless to add sugar in the batter since the carrot already has it own sweetness, a small squeeze of honey or maple syrup for garnish is totally enough.

Recipe for one serving
1/2cup pancake mix
1/4tsp (or more) ground cinnamon
Enough Water or milk
1/3cup packed grated carrot
1) mix together and form a thick batter
2) fry in a lightly oiled pan
3) squeeze some honey on top and serve, maybe add a small chunk of butter would be great too

Best Blueberry Muffin 藍梅蛋糕

Is there really such a thing called the BEST blueberry muffin? Yes, and I just found one today. As usual, there are no big secret in the use of ingredients, except for the fact that sour cream is presented in the recipe. Why sour cream? Same rule for success to moist banana bread and now you know why. The muffin came out light and moist, so delicious and the sugar amount was just perfect with the extra sweetness that brought by the juicy blueberries. If you are afraid of that calories will give you some unnecessary weight, you may want to try the low fat version by substituting 2egg whites for 1egg, use applesauce instead of oil and use low fat sour cream. With all the changes, you could still taste the flavor of a normal full fat muffin but with so much lesser calories.

Crustless quiche

Start your day off with a super easy and healthy meal - crust less quiche. One lovely breakfast idea that I should have think of earlier >:( recalling my memory, the last time making quiche was sometime around last september. That time, I made the quiche with crust and in the form of a small tart. It was good but cannot consider as something that is healthy since the crust itself already loaded with calories and fat. I always have a thought that is crust necessary, can I possibly omit it? By not making the crust can not only save my some room for dessert and also save my time. I wish I had proceed my thought earlier instead of finding crust less quiche tastes as good as quiche with a crust right now. If you have no time in the morning, prepare and bake the quiche overnight, microwave it in the next morning. :)

Recipe (1serving)
-1egg
-Splash of milk or cream
-A teaspoonful of ricotta cheese or sour cream or cheese of your choice
-filling of your choice (mushroom, broccoli, peas, tomato, spinach..etc)

1) preheat oven to 375F. In a ramekin, beat together egg, milk/cream and cheese. Add in the filling you want.
2) bake in preheated oven for 25minsor until the quiche has set.
