Blender Muffins

Here's another great recipe, simple and quick to make. This recipe is for blender muffins.
To make these, you need, 

~ 1 1/2 bananas

~ 1/4 cup peanut butter

~ 2 eggs

~ 1 tsp vanilla

~ 1/2 tsp baking soda

~ honey. I just added probably a teaspoon of honey. 

~ blender: I used a magic bullet blender and found it works the best.

~ muffin pan

~ toppings: optional. I sprinkled a few mini chocolate chips on the top. 

Directions: 

Add all the ingredients into the blender and blend. I didn't add quite as much peanut butter as the recipe suggested because I didn't want the taste to be overpowering, but if you like strong peanut butter flavor, feel free to add more. Grease the muffin pan and pour the batter into the muffin holes. This recipe makes enough batter to fill up a pan of 24 small muffins. 


Bake at 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes until slightly brown. 


Scoop out of the pan, let cool, and enjoy!

Cabbage Stir Fry

A happy hello to you friend! 
Here's a new recipe for you to try. I just made this the other day, and it turned out to be delicious! I like this recipe because it's easy to make and the ingredients can be switched up depending on what you want to add. 
Cabbage Stir Fry:
Ingredients: 
* 1/2 pound of ground beef, chicken, kielbasa, or if you prefer no meat at all, it's fine without it. I used ground beef. 
* 1-2 large carrots
* 1 or 2 cloves of garlic 
* 1/2 head of green cabbage
* Onions 
* Peppers (I didn't measure how much I used, just eyeballed it.)
* 2 tbsp soy sauce
* 1 tbsp sriracha sauce: optional (I would add however much of this fits your taste. I added about 1 tbsp because we don't like too much heat.) 
* 1 tbsp sesame oil
* 1/2 tbsp brown sugar: optional (This is to help sweeten the sauce so it isn't too hot if you add a lot of sriracha)
* 2 or 3 eggs
* Seasonings: I used pepper, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme. 

Instructions: 
To make the sauce, mix the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar together. Set aside. Cook the meat first as well as the eggs. Cut up the cabbage, onions, garlic, peppers, and shred the carrots. 


Add everything into a big pot with a drizzle of olive oil and pour the sauce over the mixture. Add the seasonings. Cook until the cabbage is wilted. Enjoy! 
Other ingredients you could add: broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, baby corns. I made this recipe again but tweaked it and didn't add sriracha sauce, meat, or the brown sugar...it still turned out marvelously. 

Have a lovely week!
