Breaky in 10 mins

Muffin is the most easy thing to bake. It's always volatile, and it can be either savoury or sweet.
This is my first savoury muffin, and it only took me 10 mins to prepare and ready in 20 mins time. Perfect for a breakfast on the bed, breakfast on the go, or whatever you like. This is actually a tomato and basil muffin, the classic italian muffin, but i don't have any basil, instead i have a bunch of chives sitting in my fridge, so the tomato and chives muffins are born!!
I'm sure if i have some cheese i would throw them in the muffins too. ( these are really volatile recipe!!)

Twisted Cheese

I love cheesecakes but they can be a bit troublesome to bake, with the biscuit base and leave it to cool overnight etc etc...
so, when i came across this chocolate cheese cake with a twist, which do not invovled the biscuit base and the cooling overnight etc ect, i decided to give it a go!
It's actually a very simply cake, substituting butter with cream cheese. Resulting a in a very moist chocolate cake. I frost it with chocolate frosting and decorate it with choppen pecans.
