And the boys just loved them.
I chucked in a bit of ham onion capsicum and cheese with the eggs and milk mixed it up.
I lined the muffin tray with pastry and filled them nearly to the top then cooked for 10 min was quick and simple.

Favorite Veg

You know when i was little i HATED beans.
I don't blame the kids for not liking them
as i said i hated them.
But funny enough they are now one of my Favorite veg's.
I fried these with some button mushrooms a little butter and some chives + salt and pepper to taste.
 I served my veg with some homemade honey and mustard chicken.
The sauce is so simple i added wholegrain mustard honey and cream to my fried chicken and waited till it thickened up i added a teaspoon of corn flower as well so simple.
YUMMO.
