poached eggs the easy way

 I saw a video on facebook this morning how to make poached eggs its yummy and I always make it the long method , this morning saw that you could do it with half a cup of cold water , 1 minute ten seconds in the microwave on high and let it stand for 20 seconds and voila perfection, i am so not doing it the long way anymore

and for my husband who wants a bit more cooked than runny egg yolk 

I left his in for one and half minute , I can not believe I did it all the time the long way x

Method : take half a cup of cold water out of tap 

break one eggyold in it , I took two cups , one egg per cup for my husband

then put in microwave for desired time , I tested that 2 minutes is still soft egg but fully cooked , 

it is really tasty 

chicken tortilla wraps

Recipe 

Wraps Tortilla wraps or any wrap you like to use I use the wholegrain one 

tomatoes

leaks chopped in circles 

butter to fry it in 

grated carrot as much as you like , I use one carrot per person 

cross and blackwell lite mayonaise a teaspoon , if you like more , you can use more 

we count our calories that is why we do not use to much sauces , I use spice and sauce as little as i can due to the taste of food and it should be tasty and one should taste everything still 

salt and pepper to taste 

sweet chilly sauce one teaspoon but if you make more chicken obviously a bit more 

chicken breast 

Ina Paarman garlic pepper , buy yourself this as it is good to have in the house and it is nice on salads and everything 

grated cheese quarter cup per person 

this is an amazing recipe that I thought out today when I was making my husbands lunch , I buy these tortilla wraps the green packet , they do not have a lot of kalories and I take one chicken breast per two wraps , and one full carrot that is grated per two wraps , per person and then a full stick of leaks that has been cut into rings and fry that in a teaspoon of butter , with Ina Paarman spice the garlic pepper one , I love using that in food , then I chop fresh tomato and some grated cheese and fill the wrap and then one teaspoon of sweet chilly sauce and one teaspoon of mayonaise . it is really very very tasty , the carrot fried with the chicken  and leaks gives the chicken just this amazing taste . 

butternut soup

a lot of people make life very easy for themselves and get the already pealed butternut but because I get these at such a good price at Woolworth I tell you these are so amazing and the absolute satisfaction of cooking 

it is a mission to peel it though xx haha enjoy 

so here goes my recipe 

three big butternuts peeled 

pinch nutmeg 

quarter cup orange juice 

quarter orange peel 

feta cheese for garnish 

Ina paarman garlic pepper to taste 

teaspoon salt 

cup of double thick yogurt, yes it is much healthier than cream but if you prefer cream it is good 

three sticks of leaks cut into circles 

you can toast bread and cut it into blocks to make your own croutons , or buy woolies croutons , so so yummy xx it is a hearty thick soup and so so nommies , use the water you cooked the butternut in too 

you have to blend it with a blender to make it into a puree , it is really a very tasty soup, 

a friend put a pinch of curry in , Marika told me 

another friend add a pinch of ginger in , I will try that next time , thank you
