My first time making a souffle! I look happy here, but that hand whipping the egg whites was hard work actually...

Adding the whipped egg whites to the egg yolk, milk, cheese, flour and leek mixture.
Note beautifully whipped egg whites and tired look on face...
Team Souffle (Amy and Shoshana), ramekins awaiting their souffles.
Yes, I know, I took a lot of photos of the souffle process. It's a big first!
Egg yolk, milk, flour, butter and leek mixture (I forgot the butter in previous caption... how could I forgot. There was LOTS of it.)
Prepped ramekins
Souffles in the oven. Unfortunately muffins were too. They got held hostage by the souffles since if we opened the oven our little experiments might collapse.
Our little pretties! They were tasty too.
Souffle goodness.
Souffle break. Everyone dropped everything to have 'em fresh out of the oven.

Eggs, "the perfect food."
Learning to poach eggs. Each person had their egg in a ramekin and took a turn.
In goes the egg...
Poaching away before being arranged on a bed of sauteed greens.
Finished product of poached eggs on greens.
Veggie juice. Had a whole head of cabbage in it, along carrots, celery, beet, parsley and lemon (with rind). My leftover. I couldn't get the rest down.
Apricot Pistachio Muffins (We're making a lot of muffins lately. This is about our fifth batch).
Homemade spiced granola with cherries, nuts and fresh almond milk.
Had to sneak in another souffle shot.
