Not your typical Egg McMuffins

10 Feb

It’s been ages I’ve posted about any of my “Brown Paper Bag” Lunches, mainly because they have been fairly repetitive.  Lately I seem to rotate between only 1 or 2 lunches daily.  Boring? Yep but it keeps me full, tastes delicious, and is fairly balanced…pretty much all I am looking for in lunch.  This week’s rotation has consisted of chickpea burgers (unsurprisingly) and muffins.  Yes, that’s right muffins…Greek Egg Muffins to be exact!

If you’re an eggs lover like me, chances are you’ll think these taste eggs-ellent too spacer !  These are merely portable omelets that can be eaten on the run.  Actually they’re even easier to make than omelet because there’s no flipping or standing around involved.  To save time, I let them cook in the oven while I’m in the shower/doing my hair/whatever.  And for what it’s worth, these are proof that it is indeed possible to meet your protein requirements through food alone: 2 of these muffins pack in 21g protein, baby!

  • Amazed by: I was recently brunching at Trident in Bandra Kurla Complex and there was a section of visually-impaired masseurs giving out foot massages.  Rather than loathe in self-pity, I was amazed at their attempts to find alternative sources of income.  Based on their senses of touch and hearing  alone, they were able to master various massage techniques and identify various pressure points and identify pressure points.  It just goes to show that whatever life throws at us, there is always some kind of skill which we can still learn.
  • App-icted to: Word Warp!  If you’re a Boggle fan nerd, you have to download this app!  And even if you’re not, still download it because the app is free!
  • Recommending you make: This recipe of Chickpea patties.  In the past 5 days, I’ve eaten them for 3 meals and am still not fed up.  Between the tahini, chickpeas, and garlic, it’s like a hummus burger!

  • Blending: I’m on a smoothie kick and my latest favorite combo is: 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 3/4 cup soy milk, frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pinch xanthan gum and half a scoop of Vanilla Sunwarrior–> LOVE!
