All this blogging made me hungry! I ate breakfast around 9. I toasted a Kashi GoLean blueberry waffle, spread a coating of Skippy all-natural PB all over it and topped it with banana slices. I was now ready to get back to blogging. (I know, a productive morning!)
For lunch around 1:00, I ate a massive slice of taco pizza that was sitting in the fridge. Not exactly a healthy choice but I can't remember the last time I ate taco pizza--or cold pizza for that matter. Besides, who could resist a huge, gooey meal just sitting in the fridge? I know I can't!
The weather turned around today and it got really hot. I munched away on refreshing grapes throughout the day while I whipped up two side dishes! The first: MORE baked pita chips with some garlic and cheesy breads. They're so easy to make. I also added some salsa and hummus dips to the center.
I baked a quiche for dinner. It was a really simple recipe; it took about 15 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to bake!
Here are the ingredients you'll need: (1) 7 eggs (2) 2 cups of shredded cheese (3) 1/4 cup of low-fat milk (4) about 1/4-1/2 cup of broccoli or spinach (5) a few pinches of salt and pepper (according to preference) (6) About 1/4 of a polenta log
And the steps! (1) Beat 5 large eggs in a bowl (2) Add in 1/4 cup of low-fat milk, 2 cups of shredded cheese (I used Sargento mixed cheese), a handful of chopped broccoli or spinach, and a few pinches (as needed) of salt and pepper for taste. Mix it up well. (3) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. (4) Take the mixture and pour half into a 8-inch pan. Thinly layer the mixture with polenta and then pour the rest of the mixture on top. Set with another thin layer of polenta. (5) Take two more eggs and beat well in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the polenta (covering it). (6) Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until top is firm. (Test with a toothpick.) Be creative and personalize your quiche with your own flavorful topping (salsa, tomato sauce, cheese, etc).
Enjoy!
