BAKED EGGS FOR BRUNCH (CHEESY ASPARAGUS QUICHE)

Today's brunch is easy, low carbs and low fat, I would not call it's a healthy meal, because it has eggs in it, as for some people, eating eggs esp egg yolks is unhealthy because of their health problems or their personal references.. I like eating eggs but I, too, have to cut off a bit because of my cholesterol number is in the red zone.

Since last week, I and some of the ladies I know from a cooking forum have agreed to have a challenge, it calls "LOW OR LESS CARB CHALLENGE" we try to support each other to consume less carb, we give ideas what we have for our meals, we tell interesting stories how hard we have to restraint ourselves not to eat carbs.. (the hardest part for me is, RICE, as I grew up in a country where its people eat rice 3 times a day)... we promise we won't cheat LOL... and at the end of the day we send email back and forth telling how our days are.. it's hard though, but it's fun and so far I managed to cut down my daily carbs intake and I managed to restraint myself from snacking at night too... I'm proud to say that when I get on my scale every morning, my number is going down and down, not much, but it's down and it motivates me to try harder..
