I’m not new to baking from ready-mixes. Far too lazy to go dig for recipes sometimes. That’s why whenever i see something new on the shelf, i’ll grab a box or two. And this is the box of Krusteaz Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Mix i bought some time back.

Here’s how the packet of muffin mix looks like out of the box.

I dont have any muffin baking cups and i cant find one that can fit into my Philips toaster oven at the malls either. What to do. The creative one in me saw some unused papercups inside the kitchen cabinet and decided to put them to good use. They were far to tall and here’s me measuring them so that i can make them shorter.

Here are the papercups cut to the size i want.

I’m only using half the contents. So, i halfed whatever’s written at the back of the box.

Pre-heat the Philips toaster oven at 230 degrees Celcius.

Cracked the gg into the Krusteaz Muffin Mix.

Fold everything up lightly and poured the poppyseed into the muffin mix.

Spoon the lemon poppyseed muffin mix into the prepared papercups half full. Yield around 9 small muffins.

All it takes is about 15 minutes and…………

TADAAAAA…… my lovely Lemon Poppyseed muffins are ready!!!! YUMMMMMM…….. If you’ve not baked muffins in papercups using a toaster oven before, believe you me, it can be done.

I seldom make scrambled eggs. Reason being i dont have fresh milk in my fridge 95% of the time. For reasons known only to my MIL, she’s been drinking fresh milk of late. By that, i meant the delivered-straight-from-the-farm kind. Not those in tetrapaks. Maybe it finally dawned on her she needs to get some form of calcium for the sake of her bones. And so, i saw an opened bottle of fresh milk in the fridge this morning and gave me the opportunity to cook scrambled eggs for my kid, who requested for egg sandwich the moment he saw me stirring under the sheets.

Here’s Samm’s Scrambled Eggs Recipe:

2 omega eggs
100ml fresh milk
SCS butter
pinch of salt (optional)
black pepper to taste

Method:

1) Whisk the 2 eggs lightly and add the fresh milk to it, mixing them thoroughly. Add the pinch of salt and black pepper to the mixture and give it a final mixing. I prefer salted butter. My favorite being SCS butter. So, remember, only a tiny pinch of salt, k.

2) Add butter to the pan and coat the base well. Make sure the heat is set to low or it’ll burn the butter even before the egg mixture is placed into it. Or cook the eggs too fast ending up looking like stir fried eggs, lol.

3) Pour the egg mixture into the pan slowly and let the slow heat cook it. It takes patience to cook perfect scrambled eggs. When you feel the base is starting to solidify, use a spoon to move the egg mixture around slowly so that the mixture that is on the top now goes to the bottom of the pan. Never stir or it’ll break the egg up.

4) Depending how you want your scrambled eggs, you can remove the eggs from the pan when everything is about 80% done. Some people prefer their scrambled eggs to be slightly runny, i prefer mine without the watery bits in it. You go experiment with the consistency until you find one that you like, k.

Now i’ve shown you how to cook scrambled eggs, hope you like my Scrambled Eggs Recipe easy enough to try. I made some egg mayo sandwich using scrambled eggs for my kid. Check it out. ya.

I got sick of staying home. Today is just one of those typical days where i have to go down to run some errands. I packed up my laptop as i feel like blogging outside today. There’s nothing much to do after lunch. I wanted to go get one of those air purifier for the room as i find it getting dustier by the day and headed straight to Parkson.

At time of writing this, i have exactly an hour and a half to kill. I found a nice cosy couch at Starbucks Ipoh Parkson and here i am, doing something i’ve not done for a long time. And that is blogging outside the comfort of my room, lol. It’s not a very hot afternoon. The sky is cloudy and i have a feeling it may pour in the late evening. Hopefully after i pick my kid from school.

Over the next few weeks or so, i will give this blog a revamp; change the template, clean up some unused plugins and add some shopping pages and new sections to it. The thing is i want to see how best to go about the whole thing. Meanwhile, let me enjoy my mug of Chamomile Tea at Starbucks and continue thinking with my Sony Retractable Headphones stuck to my ears.
