Goats Cheese, Bacon and Squash Egg Muffins.

These absolute beauties are amazing~ so long as you Goat's Cheese!!

I had been thinking of ways to make the egg muffins even tastier and decided to trial cheese instead of meats. As you may know from my Chorizo Breakfast Egg Muffins, meat is a great way to add flavour to these lovely muffins, but this time I threw in a strong cheese... and it worked!

I chose Goats Cheese because people with a lactose intolerance, dairy allergy, or other dietary considerations may be able to eat it. Also because I love goats cheese!
This recipe would work perfectly with a caramelised onion chutney and a big leafy salad.
I had mine reheated for lunch with roasted Butternut Squash and Sprouts & Pancetta. AMAZING!





RECIPE:
Remember to always use organic & good quality products where possible.

  • 7 Eggs
  • Goats Cheese
  • Turkey Bacon ~ or regular bacon/ham
  • 5 Cherry Tomatoes
  • White Onion ~ 1/2 or a medium size
  • Roasted Butternut Squash cubes
  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic & Chilli grinder
  • Coconut/Olive Oil

  • Whisk Eggs and add seasoning
  • Dice Goats Cheese ~ portion size to your taste
  • Cut Turkey Bacon, Tomatoes & dice Onion
  • Oil line muffin tray/cases (my silicone ones from Tesco are amazing- non stick)
  • Pop into oven on 160c for 30 mins
  • Then up on high to brown/crisp the tops
  • leave to stand for 5-10 mins
  • Pop out of tray/cases
  • Serve & Enjoy :)
  • or Lunch box up & reheat & Enjoy! :)



I hope you like the recipe, let me know how you get on.

Remember that this recipe can be used with alterantive meat. cheese and veges. Nearly every ingredient works~ be careful if using spinach and tomatoes as too much = soggy results!

Bubble & Squeak Cauli mash.

This is the perfect side dish for a comfort meal. Last night I made meatballs with my Roasted Sprouts & Pancetta Recipe and served it with a new idea of bubble and squeak.

I loved it. It does definitely still taste of cauliflower though- So if you're not a fan this one probably isn't for you. Or you could add in some mashed swede.


RECIPE:

  • Cauliflower ~ whole head
  • Pancetta
  • Cabbage
  • Mixed herbs
  • Garlic & Chilli seasoning
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Ghee
  • Cheese ~ optional
  • Olive / Coconut Oil

  • Boil cauliflower and cabbage seperately
  • Slice Cabbage, Dice Pancetta
  • Fry Cabbage & Pancetta in oil and herbs
  • Mash Cauliflower with Ghee
  • Add in seasoning to taste
  • Stir in Pancetta & Cabbage
  • Taste & Add seasoning to taste
  • Serve & Enjoy!! :)

Lunch Box Club 2014

I'm thinking of starting up Miss Sofit's Lunchbox club again for 2014. I loved us all helping to motivate each other with keeping healthy and packing up our lunch boxes.

Every day in my office everyone I work with one by one asks me what I have today as they pass my desk. My lunch is probably the biggest chat of the office. They will all ask what I have, say ooooooh very nice or you're very good aren't you Sophie or aren't you healthy and occasionally they will ask how I made it & that they love a certain ingredient. Naturally I love it, any chance to talk about food and my recipes. ;) 

So ladies & gents, let's start Instagram tagging, tweeting, facebooking, or emailing Lunch Box Club pictures. Remember the theme is Colourful Plate Challenge!! How many colours can you get onto your plate? Colourful unprocessed food = lots and lots of nutrients. and to bring back a quote I used to use last year: COUNT NUTRIENTS NOT CALORIES! :)




Yesterday's lunch box was Turkey mince, Chorizo, Chilli, Onion, Mushroom and Tomatoes! :)




Today was heartbreaking~ I picked up the wrong lunchbox and ended up with this full looking (but great tasting) lunch of Chilli Turjey with Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash. I had made some amaaaaaazing roasted Sprouts but they were in the other lunch box!! :(



I hope you're all having a great week~ tonight is Power class. I am achin like mad from HIIT Insanity class last night and Body Combat the night before. Feeling good! Aching is good! Lots of protein for me.

I feel like Chicken tonight!!

Happy weekend everyone!

This weekend we are celebrating my younger sister's 21st birthday~ which, of course, involves lots of naughty food and plenty of alcohol. But, that's ok! It's ok because I am a human, and because I deserve a treat after having a healthy week and working out lots too. I will never become so "obsessed" with living healthily that I forget a vital component to health~ HAPPINESS.

Eating unhealthy food, drinking alcohol and treating myself in a social situation makes me happy. I am not going to become a bore that is 100% 'perfect'- because, to me, that is not perfect, and sometimes you are just having a bad day and you can't think of anything but a certain food- allow yourself it. (On Friday I did not eat healthily~ but I will spare you the details and the temptations!)

I will never portray a false image to you, my followers. I am a very normal 25 year old girl, who loves food (good and bad) and enjoys a good drink too. I will always tell you when I slip off the wagon, and I will never lead you to think that I am some sort of super robot living on only clean food and exercise. There is so much more to life. The key is moderation!

Moral of the story: yes my blog is filled with healthy food and fitness tips, but don't ever be intimidated or under a false sense that I am not the same as you. I see it alot on people's health pages; they will make you think that they are this ridiculously healthy freak~ when in fact they drink alcohol and binge on the food they tell you not to eat. NOT ME- I am the same as you, living in a life filled with temptation and trying (most of the time) to make healthy choices & in return live a life that I am proud of.


Yesterday moring I met friends for breakfast and had a breakfast omelette instead of what my head initially shouted out: "FULL ENGLISH WITH HASH BROWNS AND TOAST!".
Lunch was some pan fried vegtables and Chicken in garlic and chilli.
Last night when I was offered a dinner from the chippy I opted to make a healthy dinner of super-tasty-juicy-Chicken, Butternut Squash wedges and veges instead.
I love butternut squash wedges, they make me feel like I am eating potato wedges and leave me full with no cravings.





Chicken was cooked in a foil parcel with a little Olive Oil, Garlic and Chilli, Salt and Pepper & Chicken Stock.
Served with Spring Greens, Peas and Carrots.
