This probably isn’t authentic in any way, but it’s close enough to cure our cravings and prevent a fast food stop. And it’s super easy, inexpensive, relatively healthful, and a perfect last minute dish.
Crustless Quiche – Our Version of “Fast Food”
We all need some quick meal ideas from time to time, but that doesn’t mean that we should grab fast food. Just because we’re short on time doesn’t mean that we can’t make healthier choices.
This is a perfect dish to make if you have just a little leftovers but not enough for a full meal. It takes about 45 minutes from start to finish, it uses up what’s left in your fridge so it’s frugal, it’s super easy, and it’s delicious.
While it’s cooking, dump a bag of salad greens in a bowl, throw on a handful of chopped onion and add a splash of balsamic vinegar as a quick side salad and you have a full, healthful meal.
What’s not to love?
Superbowl Snacks
We’ve got to stop the mindset that healthy food is something to suffer through to achieve a goal. Healthy can and should be delicious.
We love a good superbowl snack as much as the next person. This year we decided on a 7-layer dip.
Oh, and this was as easy as it was delicious. It got rave reviews from both family and friends.
A reminder here to read your labels! There is no reason for us to tolerate all the junk that is put in our foods.
Vote with your dollar at the grocery store. Purchase the product that only has ingredients that are acceptable to you.
Quick Tip – Taco Seasoning
We made a cleanish version of 7-layer dip for the superbowl yesterday. The recipe called for taco seasoning. Please, please don’t purchase those over priced little packets. Stock your pantry with good quality, pure spices and mix your own. This took us about 3 minutes to throw together and we didn’t get all the nasties and fillers (and even sugar!) that come in some pre-mixed packets.
Plus, it’s very customizable. If you like more garlic and pepper flavor, just add more. Lots of recipes call for additives such as corn starch. We’ve found that it works perfectly fine without it. YMMV.
The finished product got rave reviews btw.
