About This Blog

I enjoy new recipes...especially those that are easy. I always look for two things in the ingredients - a short(er) list and ones that I normally have on hand anyway. So if you are looking for something new to serve...look here!

I can't promise that the recipes will all be easy or healthy, but I do promise to try to add a new one every now and then that I have already tried myself.

Turkey Bacon, Mushroom & Zucchini Quiche

This recipe is adapted from the following on Surviving Motherhood:
http://www.motherhoodsupport.com/2011/04/turkey-bacon-mushroom-and-zucchinni-quiche/

Ingredients:
Turkey Bacon (I used half the package)
Mushrooms (I cut up 2 portobellos)
Zucchini (I used two small zucchini, sliced)
Red Pepper (I diced about 1/2 of one)
Onion (I used part of a yellow one)
Garlic (1-2 cloves)
Milk (1 cup)
6 Eggs
Half and half (1 cup)
Cheese (1 cup – I used mild cheddar)
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 Pie Crusts (I just bought a 2-pack frozen, let sit out 15-20 minutes first)

In a pan, saute the bacon, mushrooms, zucchini, onion and garlic on medium heat until the veggies are soft and tender (about 15 -20 minutes).


Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix the eggs, cream, milk, cheese and salt and pepper together.  Once the veggie mixture is tender, divide the mixture between the two pie crusts.  Then pour over the egg mixture and bake in the oven on 375 degrees for about 45-55 minutes.


You’ll know when it’s done when you can put a knife in the middle and it comes out clean.


It makes enough for two pies – one for now and the other for the freezer! 

Thanks Surviving Motherhood!

Egg Salad


I decided to give this a try since we have TONS of hard boiled eggs after Easter.  There are many variations of egg salad online...here's the one I put together:

Eggs
A couple of spoonfuls of Miracle Whip
A few squirts of spicy brown mustard
Fresh diced chives from our backyard
Diced onion

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

So many people have trouble with this one that I just had to share the "recipe" I use. Andy has a cookbook called "Dad's Own Cook Book". I highly recommend it. Search for it on Amazon.

Place cold eggs in a saucepan or pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 12 minutes. Plunge the eggs immediately into cold water to stop the cooking process and to make them easy to peel.

I even put the eggs immediately under a cold faucet and add ice over them. Perfect eggs every time!
