Place the egg into a saucepan, and fill with water to cover the egg by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the egg stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the egg under cold running water in the sink.

These lamb meatballs made with ground lamb, garlic, rosemary, and oregano are baked to keep them juicy, then simmered in a rich tomato sauce flavored with fresh mint. Delicious served on lemon couscous for a tasty Mediterranean alternative to traditional meatballs.
Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins
What I like the most about these muffins is that the spices make the muffin what it is. The raw cane sugar and whole wheat pastry flour are the best to use because they are the least processed ingredients available and retain more of their natural goodness. The chunky apple bits give me more for my bite and add another level of sweetness to the muffin. These make a great breakfast or brunch item, or you can have one with a cup of coffee and unwind! Enjoy!
