Quiche, or if you want to be technical - Frittata
Mornings are hard for me, getting everyone fed, clothed, changed, etc and getting started on the day. Eating breakfast myself can sometimes be a problem. I do the Insanity workout when E3 goes down for a nap around 9, so I really have to make sure to eat something asap after waking up and have enough fuel for the day, as well as my workout.
Last night, I decided to make something I've been wanting to try for awhile, but wasn't sure how to do it. I finally took the plunge, posted "Quiche is basically eggs and veggies, right?" on Facebook and got some helpful replies. "Add milk", "spinach & tomatoes", etc. I learned that a quiche typically has a crust, cheese and bacon with the eggs, so what I made was a frittata. Frittatas are also usually whipped more, incorporating more air than quiches, to make them fluffier.
I grew up calling it quiche, so forgive me if I use "frittata" and "quiche" interchangeably. ;)
My experiment worked great! I baked it last night, put it in the fridge, after it cooled some, and heated up pieces for breakfast. E1 & E2 weren't too sure about it, but E3 and I were quite enthusiastic. I also sent some along with EDaddy for his breakfast at work. The eggs I have are local, free range, so some of the yolks were a vibrant orange. I purposely didn't completely whip them together, because I wanted the varying color to come through. It looks like there's cheese on it...
I liked having it ready so much, that I made another after breakfast, ate one piece and put the rest in the fridge. I left out the leeks and added thawed, cooked mini shrimps without tails.
Frittata aka Quiche in Maryland
8 eggs
1/4 cup almond milk (try to use unflavored, I didn't realize I had unsweetened vanilla until it was too late, but it turned out fine)
1/2 cup broccoli, chopped (I used frozen)
some leeks (put these on half)
4 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Opt. shrimp, tomatoes, hashbrowns, other veggies or meats
Put chopped broccoli, leeks and any other veggies or meats in the bottom of the pan. I used a circular cake pan.
Sprinkle oil on top of the veggies.
Mix eggs, milk, salt & pepper in a bowl, then pour over veggies.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done.

Egg Crepes or Pancakes
I saw Keeper of the Home's recipe for Sweet or Savory Roll Ups and just had to try it!
It was very good, and all three kids loved it! I tried putting salsa on them, as well as ranch dressing (dairy free, post to come!), and also jelly that is only fruit, fruit juice and pectin.
They use a dozen eggs per batch, however, so I can't make them every day, but definitely if we're going to be on the go, it's an easy way for the kids to get a healthy breakfast or snacks!
This is a terrible picture with my phone of a crepe with salsa, they looked much nicer in person ;)
More posts to come soon! My card reader wasn't working, so I couldn't upload the pics of food, so I have a few I hope to work on tomorrow.

Hamburgers, Eggs & Zucchini
For supper the other night, we had mini hamburgers from organic beef I got at Costco - it wasn't as good as the grassfed beef we just ran out of from our portion of a cow last year. Bummer.
Anyway, I fried them, then in the drippings, fried some farm fresh eggs, I get locally, to put on top. Delicious!!
To round out the meal, I fried Zucchini slices in Coconut Oil with a little salt. SOOO delicious!!!
The picture isn't very appetizing, but it tasted really good.
And last night, we had dinner at my parents. Delicious grass-fed beef hamburgers (no buns for us), sauteed in olive oil aka EVOO mushrooms, avocado slices, tomato slices, mayo & mustard. YUM!!
