Earlier this summer, I kidded myself with the notion of doing the 100-mile diet, only to realize that I was broke and, well, beggars can’t be choosers. But, if my bank account starts looking happy again (unlikely after Summerlicious), here’s where I’d be eating:

I still consider myself to be an amateur when it comes to baked goods, but they are quite handy for bringing into work and meetings and whatnot. After all, I am not about to pull out a dish of coconut curry jumbo shrimp as finger food for my coworkers.
So the other day, I was to make something to show off my culinary skills to these professors that I was having a meeting with. I immediately thought of the unused muffin mix in my pantry, and volunteered to bring muffins to the meeting. But I’d never actually made muffins before (tiny little secret), so I was a little bit anxious as to how they’d turn out.
The mix was for a standard muffin with blueberry filling. The filling was the tricky part, since it was heavier than the muffin mix and would start to sink when I put it in the half-filled muffin cup. In the end, they turned out rather perfectly, worthy of being presented by the SassyChef.

My super duper awesome Sunday breakfast is now being served on Saturday. This week’s feature: rolled Ham and Egg omelet!
I made the omelet with one large egg and 3 egg whites, and used two slices of chicken ham. Very simple, and very delicious!
