Bacon Broccoli Quiche recipe


Here is the Bacon Broccoli Quiche recipe:

Ingredients:
1 9-inch frozen pie shell
1 10-oz package of frozen broccoli (I used fresh though)
1/4 an onion (chopped)
1/2 jalapeño (diced, seeded)
1/2 package of bacon (cooked and chopped)
1 cup milk
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Bake pie crust about 10 minutes to get started. Let cool. Cook broccoli onion, and jalapeño until tender, drain well. (I just put them all together in the microwave for about 4 minutes.) Meanwhile, combine milk, eggs, butter, flour, salt, pepper. Whisk until well blended. Then layer bacon on bottom of crust. Then broccoli, then cheese. Then pour liquid mixture over everything. Bake at 375 for about 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Graham Cracker Recipe

Since I've had a couple emails and other requests for this, here is the
HOME-MADE GRAHAM CRACKER RECIPE!!!
and I do want to give credit to the awesome cookbook I got this out of: WHOLE FOODS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY which has tons of other awesome recipes. It is a LLL publication. LLL of course stresses healthy eating from as natural of a state as possible for the whole family. You should totally buy it. It has recipes for stuff that you typically BUY all the time...also for things like "condensed soup mixes" and saltine crackers, salad dressings, pancake "mixes", "sloppy joe mixes"...stuff I used to buy before I started reading labels and avoiding MSG and HFCS as much as possible. It even has some recipes for home-made juice, which I might try when I finally go and pick apples this fall! So here goes.

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 c. oil
1/3 c. Honey
2 T. molasses
1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 to 3 cups whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 c. milk
oil or butter for greasing

READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS FIRST!
1. Mix oil, honey, molasses and vanilla in large bowl.
2. Combine 2 1/2 c. flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in medium bowl.
3. Add dry mix to wet mix, alternating with milk. Mix well. When dough gets too stiff for spoon stirring, knead with hands.
4. If dough becomes too sticky, add up to 1/2 c. more flour. Form dough into ball.
5. Preheat oven to 300 F.
6. Grease cookie sheets.
7. Divide dough in half.
8. Roll out flat, directly onto sheet. (It should be enough to put on 2 sheets.)
9. Use knife to cut into squares about 2.5 inches apart, but do not actually separate.
10. Prick surface with fork or shampoo brush (???!!!) for even baking.
11. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until outer edges are slightly browned.
12. Remove from oven with potholders (duh!)
13. Allow to cool entirely on sheets.
14. After cooled, separate the crackers and remove from sheet with turner.
15. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

PS...I like to sprinkle extra cinnamon/sugar on top of mine after poking the holes! Warning...you will never want store-bought ones again! :) If you make them, let me know how yours turned out! :) YUMMY! ENJOY!

Home-Made Graham Crackers!

I've enjoyed making homemade Graham Crackers for awhile. I bascially decided to make it one day when we were out of Graham Crackers and I didn't feel like running up to Trader Joe's which is about 20 minutes away. I don't like feeding Claire stuff with HFCS because it is seriously in everything and pretty unnatural.
They are super easy and super tasty. You can also top them with whatever you want, too!

Sugary Peanut Butter Cookies

Sugary Peanut Butter Cookies

• ½ cup peanut butter
• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 ¼ cup flour
• ¾ tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• “Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle” topping by Pampered Chef


First combine peanut butter, butter, sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Blend until smooth. Then combine flour, soda, powder, salt, and mix well all together. Chill dough 8 hours or overnight for best results.

Use a cookie scoop for uniform baking. Scoop onto tray, then press a large fork both directions to make an “X” design with the prongs of the fork. Top with Pampered Chef “Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle” topping before baking. Put dough back in fridge between baking batches to keep stiff.
Bake on parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 7-8 minutes. They will continue to bake while cooling on the hot tray! Allow to cool/form on hot tray for 1-2 minutes, then slide off paper and allow to set about 5-10 minutes before removing from paper.

(Put tinfoil on crust edges to prevent over-browning of crust--which I forgot this time..)
