That single cupcake was baked in the oven and not in a mug, so it was a little different. The idea is the same though, I love the recipes that require no egg because it feels wasteful to use just the yoke. :) I like working in just tablespoons, though. So easy and it's instantly gratifying. It's just terrible when what I really want isn't to eat sweets but to enjoy other... Things.

They even have a gluten free recipe! Cool! :)
I tried one mug recipe, and it called for a bunch of oil. It was... Ok, but I never have done it again.
Why don't you save the egg white and mix it in with whole eggs for a scramble the next morning? That's what I do.

I tried saving them in the past only to
Absolutely loath the idea of eggs in the morning. :rolleyes: I really can't tell you why that happens, but it does. So I really like the eggless recipes. Plus, I can just eat the batter if I'm really lazy. :D

This brownie comes out really yummy and doesn't require egg. I've used almond milk with it and it works, but it becomes kind of dry when cool. Dairy milk keeps it moist it seems.

Oh, and the bantam eggs are very neat, Elle. (^^)
 
Today it was fennel and apple salad and harissa salmon with couscous and yoghurt sauce. Basic and quick, easy enough to make even if you're a bit buzzed from whisky. Doesn't look that appetizing, though.

I've noticed that if you serve salad separately, it feels a lot fancier. Two course meal! :)

My two course meals are mains and desserts.
Does that count? :p

Your meal sound luscious, Seela!
I have a fennel bulb to use up, but no apple at the moment...
I will probably end up with a fennel salad, or the fennel cream potatoes I discovered a while back.
 
I like fennel with green apples a lot. Julienne thinly, add a squeeze of lime or lemon, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and it's done. Good, easy and zero filleting of oranges is involved. :)

Yes, I'm not a big orange fan. Juice or zest is fine, but actual orange segments, not so much :(
 
Mister insisted on having fish this morning so I woke up early and prepared it. Gutting a fish is not exactly a good morning task. (._.) It smells a little salty in our place today. Tonight I'm going to simmer the rest with no gutting required.
 
I find oranges a bit pesty to eat as a fruit. I think this is one of the reasons I prefer cooking or salading them. Instead of filleting sometimes I knife peel and slice. Yes, you get some membrane, but you'd eat it as fruit, and its healthy fibre. I love the taste.

Mostly to eat as fruit I find it segmented ( not filleted ) on fruit plates more convincing. G peels them for me. ( I had an embarrassed smiley there but I just realised I don't NEED to me embarrassed about this. He takes care of me this way...its ok. )

I happened across this trick recently, so I may get a few just to do this :D
 
German chocolate cake is in the oven, bread sticks are rising on the stove top using the extra heat and dinner shall be chicken gnocchi soup. Using left over roast chicken and making the gnocchi from scratch with extra baked potatoes from last nights dinner. Cause I planned ahead and made extra. Yeah weekly dinner menu.

In fact, the langoustines smelt like yesterday's langoustines also, so I pulled some ....prawns/shrimp out from the freezer.

And I can't tell the difference :rolleyes: :eek: sorry!
I'm sure it was delicious :)

Pan rustico, revised. This bread starts out with a 24 hour yeast/flour/sugar/water ferment. I increased that to 48 hours, included a bit of rye flour and steam baked it. It's amazing :heart: :eek: :heart: Definitely my favourite bread I have ever baked! I ate about a third of the loaf right out of the oven with fresh clotted cream :p Please, cold weather, stay a while!!!
