Please share some ideas for muffins in your comments.  Maybe, I will make them.

This leads up to the scrumptious breakfast muffins, coming up.

Breakfast Muffins  

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 Tablespoons oil
1 onion chopped
3/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup vegetable broth
5 slices sun dried tomatoes
2/3 cup flour 
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
3 eggs

Topping:  5 Cherry tomatoes and  1 cup Cheddar Cheese OR
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.
Spray 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick oil.
Boil potatoes until mashable (not mushy) 
Add cream cheese and 1/4 cup vegetable broth
Cook onions in oil in a hot skillet until lightly browned.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and heat for additional two minutes.
In separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk,  and eggs .
Combine potato mixture with flour mixture and pour mix evenly into each cup.
Top potatoes with 1 Tablespoon cheese and 1 Tablespoon *tomato.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Topping: Put tomatoes in small bowl and place in microwave.  Cook at high for two minutes.  Remove from microwave.  Take a fork and chop the tomato so you have smaller pieces.  Place tomatoes on top of muffins.  Shred cheddar cheese directly over tomatoes.

I made six of these with the tomato and cheese on top and another six with Parmesan, sprinkled from bottle on top of potatoes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
