Blast from the past…with a new twist
BROCCOLI-QUINOA CASSEROLE You remember this dish… from every church pot luck, community cookbook, and Gramma’s table. Yes, THAT broccoli-rice casserole. Bubbly, cheesy, rich, and so very good. Old-fashioned comfort food, personified. Since I love using quinoa in everything calling for rice (less starchy, more protein) I thought I’d give it a try in this one….
Quick little quickie!
SPINACH-GORGANZOLA QUICHE CUPS I love quiche in any way, shape, or form. It’s comforting to me…the possibilities are innumerable…and they are protein-filled while being fairly low in calories. A complete meal in a finger food! (I love LOADED quiche, so I added a little more spinach in the ones photographed.) These freeze wonderfully, so make…

New Year…back on track…how about some protein?!
MY FAVORITE EGG SALAD Super simple…Plain Jane, no frills. This is the egg salad that I keep in the fridge to wrap in lettuce leaves or to eat with a spoon out of a bowl. Nothing fancy. You probably have a favorite way of making yours…this is mine. One secret that makes it super quick…

Low Carb Crepes…a great stand-in for a whole lotta stuff…
Crepes (Low-carb, higer-protein) I use these in so many more ways than just “crepes”. In both sweet or savory recipes, as wraps, tortillas, noodles – they are a great way to still make those dishes you love without the unneeded carbs. Don’t be afraid of making crepes – and you don’t need a special…
