Zucchini Quiche

What to make for that potluck, baby shower, or in my case....mom's get together!? 

Yep, I've got you covered!

I adapted this recipe from the 1980 Bake-Off-winning recipe from Pillsbury.

This recipe is kid friendly, easy to make, and even freezes well.

The Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Butter (and olive oil as needed)

4 cups thinly sliced zucchini

1/2 cup chopped onions

2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes (and whatever other herbs you may have on hand: basil, oregano, etc.)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

2 eggs, well beaten

2 cups Muenster or Mozzerella cheese

1 can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375F. Heat skillet, and melt butter over med-high heat.
2. add zucchini and onions, cook 6-8 minutes, until tender; add more olive oil if necessary.                Stir in parsley/herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. In large bowl, mix eggs an cheese. Then add cooked vegetable mixture, stir gently to mix.
4. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased 10-inch glass pie plate/baking dish. Press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Firmly press perforations to form seal.
5. Pour egg mixture evenly into crust-lined pie plate.
6. Bake 18-20 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. I cover the edges of the crust with foil the last 10 minutes of baking so that my crust does not come out burnt (that's the best part!)

The Ingredients

Sauteing onions & zucchini together

Stirring together egg & cheese mixture

Rolling out the crest & pressing the perforations together

Adding vegetable mixture to cheese mixture

Pouring in the good stuff!

Don't forget this step to keep your crust golden while the rest of the
 quiche continue to bake

Yep, you will be the talk of the town when you bring this to your next gathering ;)

Yum-o

3 Ingredient Granola....seriously amazing!

We spent last week visiting family in Canada. And of course the day I get there, I go grocery shopping for our ‘standard’ food items: peanut butter, yogurt, fruits/veggies for green smoothies, etc….things that my mother-in-law may not have stocked already. I bought a huge thing of peanut butter and couldn't find a granola that I liked at the grocery store. Luckily on the PB jar there was a granola recipe and there at the store I immediately knew I was going to make it! And make it I did….THREE times! It was so good couldn't get enough!! I ate it with yogurt, it added a nice peanut butter crunch to oatmeal, and of course by the spoonful fresh out the oven (after it cooled ;)

Here is the easy peasy recipe:

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

2 TBSP maple syrup

1 cup quick oats

HEAT oven to 350F

MIX peanut butter and maple syrup together, Add oats and mix until mixture evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I wet my hands to spread the granola out evenly.

BAKE 15 minutes, stirring after 8 minutes

DONE!

The ingredients

So quick to whip up!

Fresh out the oven

Strawberry oatmeal topped with PB granola

Yogurt topped with blueberries & PB granola
