Sausage, bacon and spinach frittataaaaa

Morning munkeys!


I made this last night, for today's and tomorrow's breakfast - although you can OF COURSE it eat it whenever the hell you want! ;) It's basically some of my favourite breakfast foods in one dish.. and I really wanted to keep it simple and quick to make - so this time I didn't cook any of the ingredients beforehand. As usual, there aren't really any rules with this dish - take your favourite foods and throw 'em together.. that is literally how I eat nearly everyday.. bacon? Goood. Apple? Goood. Spinach? Goood - as Joey would say :P

Hope you like it! Here's how I made it:

INGREDIENTS:
1 medium sized white onion
3 medium sized sausages (I used chorizo sausages, but you can use any)
100-150g chopped bacon
3-4 large handfuls of spinach
6 medium sized eggs
Salt to season

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Line the baking tray with baking paper - NOT foil as it will stick.
2. Preheat the oven to gas mark 5.
3. Chop your onion, sausage, bacon and spinach and place on baking tray (I love using scissors to chop my spinach, and also meat - super handy and effective :P).
4. Whisk the eggs and add salt and whatever other seasoning you would like.
5. Pour the whisked eggs over the ingredients and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
6. Allow to cool and et voila!

Enjoy munkeys! :)

Peanut-butter-banana-oat-chocolate-chip-balls!

Hey there munkeys! Hope you're all having a lovely start to 2014 :) I'm super psyched for this year!!!


Here's a really simple and quick recipe with some of my favourite foods.. do you like bananas? Do you like peanut butter? Oats? Chocolate? Then you'll love this ;) and it only takes 10-15 minutes total to prepare and cook! There are many different variations you can do with these too - roll them in crushed nuts, seeds or desiccated coconut etc. The options for what can cover  and fill them with are endless really :)

Here's how easy-peasy it is:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of oats (I went with gluten free)
1 scoop of whey (approx 20g, any flavour - you can also omit the whey, I have before and they're still damn good!)
1 banana (the more brown spots the better!)
2 heaped tbsp peanut butter or any other nut butter
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I used 70%)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pour the oats in a bowl with the whey and mix.
2. Mash the banana and peanut butter in a separate bowl.
3. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6.
4. Add the peanut butter and banana mix to the oats.
5. Use your hands to combine the oats and whey, with the peanut butter and banana (fyi - it will be suuuper sticky, sorry!)
6. When the mixture is combined, stir in the chocolate chips with a spoon.
7. Dampen your hands with some water and roll the mixture into balls. (having damp hands, makes the rolling smoother)
8. Place the balls on a baking paper lined baking tray or silicone baking tray and put in the oven for 5 minutes.
9. Allow to cool. (By the way, they taste even better the next day..)

Enjoy munkeys! :)
