hash brown quiche

By
















sorry i've been m.i.a. for a while.  i haven't really been m.i.a.  i just moved across the country in the middle of the first trimester of my third pregnancy and i've been a little wonky the past few months.  (ask my husband)  while in the throngs of packing up our house full of junk, er... things, i just couldn't keep up with all my responsibilities, so the blog had to go...temporarily.  plus, i mean really, along with all the yucks of those first few months like feeling like your stomach is turning inside out and you can barely keep control of your balance and you don't even want to think about food, i had a strange aversion to all things cyberspace.  even the thought of facebook or checking my email or this blog sent me into a spin of nausea.  strange, i know.  i can't really explain it.  i do have a friend who said when she was pregnant she had a strange aversion to certain people.  anytime she saw someone in particular, it would make her sick to her stomach and throw up.  but i digress.  and why am i even talking about this on a food blog?  oh yea, because i'm making excuses for why i haven't shared a recipe in a long while.  well here you go.  a tried and true great go-to for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  it's paula deen's basic recipe, but you can make it your own by adding whatever fits your fancy (or whatever you have in your fridge.)  it's a winner.  

hash brown quiche

3 cups, shredded hash browns (i just use the refrigerated shredded simply potatoes)
4 Tbsp butter, melted
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk 
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or more if you're feeling really ambitious)
salt and ground black pepper
any roasted vegetable or meat to your liking (asparagus, broccoli, caramelized onions, bell peppers, squash, mushrooms, ham, sausage, bacon)

directions:
preheat oven to 450 degrees.  toss hash browns with melted butter and press into 9" pie plate and up the sides to form a crust.  bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

mix together the remaining ingredients.  pour over baked hash brown crust and return to the oven.  lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes or until the quiche is light brown on top and puffy.

    We made this last night and loved it! It's a variation of the one we make so I used green onion, mushrooms and broccoli in it. My kids even ate it!! Thank you! (I'm Laura's friend...btw.)

Marinara with butter and onion

By
did I tell you that I love butter? well, I do. (see here ) so when i came across this recipe on the smitten kitchen , i was in awe. although wisdom tells you that a good marinara sauce comes from hours of simmering vine ripened tomatoes in delicious spices and mouth watering aromatics, this recipe sort of defies that wisdom. it's three ingredients...that's it. while the quality of the tomatoes does add value to this sauce, it's also ok to substitute with the can of tomatoes you've got on hand. if that's san marzano tomatoes, it's going to be delicious, if it's just a can of hunts, it will still be fantastic (i don't recommend a store brand of tomatoes for this recipe, however). for me, it's the go to recipe when i'm swamped and cannot find time to spend in the kitchen. let me tell you something about myself. i'm a people pleaser. so i have a hard time saying no. "can you help coach knowledge bowl?" yes. "would you b...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

rotisserie chicken noodle soup

By
i can't even begin to tell you how much i wish that this were not a post about soup.  i wish i could have a talking with mother nature and convince her that spring is necessary.  not only for the budding tulips and daffodils, but for my mental status.  i dislike winter.  there.  i said it.  this year i even tried my best to not let winter get to me.  i invested in insulated running tights and lots of warm gear to get me through all the snow storms.  and i ran through lots of cold dreary days.  and it helped.  oh boy, did it help!  but dog-gone-it, it's may now.  i tried to have patience through the blustery march weather.  i was optimistic when april's sunshine peeked through the clouds.  but, honestly, that was maybe once.  and now i'm telling you what...my patience has worn thin and i'm anxious to get my cold weather gear put away.  i want to hop on my bike and pedal my way into mental heaven.  but ...
