What's Cooking?

 

Woke up to mornings in the upper 30's.  Brr.  Rain flooded our asparagus patch.  I am hoping I will have some more asparagus to harvest today.  The continuation of cold nights, has my green onions looking drab.

Food is the topic today, as I have very little to share.  

I've been thinking how much fun it was last year to try new Christmas holiday recipes.  We loved the sunflower seed brittle recipe we tried last year.  You may get a "Christmas" post out of me this year. 


New recipe we tried and absolutely love it.  I have made many, many breakfast casseroles/quiches and frittatas, and this one is a keeper.  I do believe it is a "first" mushroom type quiche to make as well.  I'm officially saying it's a "first time" event this year.  

I takes an entire box of frozen spinach, but once you squeeze all that water out, you don't have much left.

I used organic baby bella mushrooms, but otherwise did not change any of the recipe.  It is from The Stay at Home Chef (recipe is online), called Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche.



The quiche contains two types of cheese, and one is feta.  We added a side of chicken sausages to this breakfast, and boy it was good.  Next plan, when I make it again, is to bake two of them.  I plan on freezing one (freezing individual slices) and enjoying one.  We often times are running here or there, or have other commitments, and Monday morning we sometimes need a healthy breakfast, but have no time Sunday to prepare one.


One of our recent dinners:

Homemade meatballs - from the freezer (recipe is on my blog, and uses ground organic oats instead of bread crumbs.

Home canned hot pepper mustard sauce - from the pantry

Wild rice prepared with beef stock - pantry

Veggie side - from the store (recipe is from "Fix it and Forget it" crock pot cookbook) - carrots/turnips/parsnips.

All of it was prepared in two separate crockpots.

Oh yummy. This post has made me hungry. Everything sounds delish. I'm intrigued by the crustless spinach quiche. Thanks for the link :)
Soon I am going to give the sunflower brittle a try. We have tons of sunflower seed here.
Also thanks for the heads up on the quiche. I am always looking for something different for an occasional breakfast.

That quiche looks SO good. It was pretty chilly out camping this week. It was 40F one morning while we were there. Brrrr.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Jeanna, it was delicious. Hope you enjoy it too.
Anne in the kitchen, you are welcome. Both are delicious.
Betsy, the weather here is still cold early mornings. I did not lay flat mushrooms on the top of mine to "fancy" it up, but it was very good.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
