quiche lorraine


Tried something new for dinner the other day: quiche. This is something I've only ever had once in my life, but it was so good I had to try baking it myself. The neat thing about quiche is that there are so many ingredients you can use to make a different meal each time you make it. I choose to go with the most traditional version, known as quiche lorraine. To my surprise, it actually turned out quite nice. I was a bit worried about it more than anything else I've made recently (probably because of the strangeness of the actual ingredients). But anyway, as I discovered, quiche is super easy to make and something I will definitely continue cooking in the future. It's great for any meal of the day! I served it with a spinach, strawberry, onion, and avocado salad (favorite salad ingredients by far) in order to add another course to the dinner. Delicious. Click the jump to get the recipe!

bruschetta with chicken


Today was my turn to make dinner again. At work I was looking through our Cook This, Not That book and saw a recipe for bruschetta. Unfortunately, this dish is traditionally just a served as a appetizer. After surfing the web for a bit, I came across this recipe for bruschetta with chicken, thus allowing my dish to graduate onto being an entree with a minimal amount of extra work.
