Quiche Rhiannon

Published by

This quiche recipe is pretty tasty!  One of the things I love about it is that in its simplicity, yet very good flavour and texture, it is easy to do all sorts of variations for fillings. Last night, we made one in our personal favourite way: with swiss chard, and summer squash (and it’s the ONLY way I will eat swiss chard!).  We also added a leek this time, as I wasn’t sure what else I might be using the leek for.  One time I brought this version to our monthly Sunday Morning Zeal Meal, a monthly sharing of a huge meal and relationship with one another at our church.  That particular morning, I threw a couple sliced mushrooms in the pan with the onion and OMG the compliments that morning were endless.  Quiche can be so fun, and creative! Goodbye, Lorraine.  Hello, Rhiannon! This make one large quiche, so I would not go over the suggestions, and if your eggs are on the large side or you’re planning to add a lot of filling …

Almost Famous Pumpkin Chili

Published by

I am so excited to share this recipe with you.  Everyone loves this chili. I mean everyone.  I have yet to meet someone I’ve given this to whom hasn’t raved about it.  Next time you want to change up your chili night try this. Pumpkin and the accompanying seasonings may sound strange with chili,  but I assure you, it is a match made in heaven. This chili is very simple!  And there is room for flexibility.  Make it meatless and simply add an extra can of beans or some fresh chopped zucchini.  I have done that many a time.  I also have used chili sauce to make it easier! Just cut the tomato sauce, brown sugar, chili powder and salt in half as well and omit the vinegar.  If you like it spicier, just add some diced jalapeño with the onion and meat, or a small can of chilis with the beans and corn. Almost Famous Pumpkin Chili Yield: 8 to 10 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes Ingredients 1 …

My Great Grams Crepes

Published by

Good morning Friends! I was so happy when my children asked for crepes for breakfast this morning, because A. They are a simple treat to make, B. They are delicious and C. It gave me an amazing opportunity to share this recipe with you! My maternal family is very French Canadian.  And I love that influence in my life, and in my cooking.  Crepes, and french toast, were the norm for breakfasts at Gram and Great Grams house.  Some of my earliest memories include these meals shared with family.  My mom and her two sisters will still bicker (in the loving way the french do) to this day about this recipe but its funny because in the end they all agree on it! This morning my kiddos and I filled them with chocolate chips or we spread the with butter and sprinkled brown sugar before rolling them up! That was one of my Grams favourite ways to serve them.  just like my Gram did – butter and brown sugar. I also like to serve this …

Warm and Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole

Published by

This casserole reminds me of my days working at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester and Milford NH.  If you’re ever there, check them out.  Their whole basis was comfort food, and this recipe is no different.  This casserole is the ultimate comfort food, and my kiddos even love it. I tend to make my own cream of [fill in the blank] soups, but feel free to use canned.  If you are interested in my cream soup recipes please comment below and I would be happy to share those also! They are pretty simple and perfect, in my opinion. Also, if you want to save time and energy, go ahead and use frozen carrots instead of fresh ones.  Just throw them in with the frozen peas at the end. Warm and Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole Yield: one 9 x 13 baking dish Prep time: 15 to 20 minutes Total time: 1 hour Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter 3 to 4 carrots diced small ¼ to ½ onion diced small 2 cloves garlic minced 8 ounces egg …
