Poached eggs served with wilted spinach and a mug of caffeinated love

This protein packed breakfast will start your day off with a smile - poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach (microwave raw spinach leaves for 1 min = hi wilted spinach) and a cafe latte to get you moving. Love this breakfast! Serve with salt and pepper and a smile. Happy Monday!

The perfect poached egg


How to poach an egg - this is how, after much trial and error, I have learned how to poach an egg

In a small saucepan, heat some water until boiling, add some malt vinegar - a few splashes will do.
Remove the pan from the heat now, so the bubbles settle, crack and settle the egg into the pan gently.
Now replace the pan to the heat, turning down the temperature so as not to have the water bubbling again. This will only disperse the egg and overcook it.

Allow the egg to rest in the hot water for about 7 mins (or longer for a firmer yolk) and remove gently when ready - serve with wilted spinach on toast. Perfect power breakfast!

Homemade healthy lunch


I love experimenting with different flavours and ingredients. Being a vegetarian (I recently started to eat fish too) I take it upon myself to dream up some mix of flavours that will not only be delicious but nutritious too!

I started off this dish by toasting some ready cooked puy lentils in a shallow pan. Once toasted and warm, add chopped plum tomatoes, diced red onion and walnuts and feta cheese. Serve with a soft poached egg for some added protein.

Yummy.
