Spinach Mushroom and Ham Quiche on Wheat Crust

 

IMAG0417

Tonight I was wanting to fix something good by using the ingredients that I already had in the kitchen. How many times do we do that? Winking smile  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do it with the ingredients I had. I was in the middle of chopping all the veggies and noticed that my onion had gone bad. So I had to make a quick trip to Walmart. Good thing it’s just down the street!

 

I decide to go with an easy wheat crust that my lovely coworker Lacey gave me. It just has a few ingredients and its easy and healthy.

Here are the ingredients

Notice the  garlic grape seed oil?

I love every opportunity to use this. I pick this up back when Kyle and I visited the wineries in Altus.  I use it sparingly because it’s very strong but it adds so much flavor!

 

Mix together all your crust ingredients and shape in pie dish

It’s not going to look very pretty because it’s very crumbly.  This was the best I could do.

Bake your crust in 400 degree oven for 8 min.

While your crust is cooking chop your veggies and mix together your filling.  I sautéed onion and mushrooms together in a little olive oil.

When the onions were just about caramelized I added 2 handfuls of fresh spinach

Mix together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk and season with salt and pepper.

Once your veggies are done mix into egg mixture with your ham and cheese.

Do you notice something missing? I forgot to add the cheese so I added it once I already poured it into the pie shell. Accidents happen. Winking smile

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f...

2011 AR Cornbread Festival

Saturday was the 2011 Arkansas Cornbread Festival in Little Rock. I entered the competition thinking it would be a fun activity to participate in; I had no idea how big of a festival it was going to be. The number of attendents kept increasing which made me more nervous as the competition neared.  The last count I had heard was 1000 people and  I thought, how am I’m going to fix enough cornbread for that many people?  I knew that they would only be getting a 2 oz sample cup but still, that's a lot of people. I spent Friday afternoon and evening baking cornbread. They suggested that we make 4 13x9 in square inch pans worth of cornbread, I ended up shooting for 5 just to be safe.  My cornbread was called Citrus Corny Cornbread. It originated from my mom’s corny cornbread recipe that I grew up on but I put a little twist on it by adding orange juice, orange zest, and cream cheese. After 3 trips to Walmart and o...
