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.
