spinach feta quiche
spinach feta quiche is my new favorite breakfast. it can also be lunch, brunch, dinner.. basically, you can eat this any time of the day. trust me, you will want to because it is THAT good. if you’re a fan of spanakopita (greek spinach pie), then you will love this. it’s full of healthy spinach, salty & creamy feta cheese, and the flaky, buttery crust is the perfect vessel. i made this along with my ham & cheese quiche for a brunch with friends last week, and they were both giant hits. the crust recipe makes 2 servings, so you might as well make 2 quiches since you’re going to the trouble to make the crust anyway. try them both out, and let me know which one you prefer!
spinach artichoke dip
if you’ve been to houston’s, you’ve had their spinach artichoke dip. you can’t go there and not order it–it is the BEST thing on the menu, and there are a lot of good things on the menu. it’s creamy, cheesy, & healthy because it has spinach and artichokes in it (right?!), at least that’s what i will tell myself.. i had to figure out how to make it at home!
mexican caesar salad
this mexican caesar salad is so easy that you can put it together in literally about 15 minutes (can you tell that’s a theme with me?)! it’s a great accompaniment to tacos, quesadillas, empanadas, enchiladas, etc. you can top it with whatever protein you have around (taco meat to turn it into a different variation of my chicken taco salad would be great!), or just eat it on its own. if you love regular caesar salad, then you will love this cheesy, nutty, herby twist with a kick!
weeknight salad
i make this “weeknight salad” for dinner at least once a week. it’s easy to throw together when i get home from work, healthy, and so satisfyingly good. the flavors of olive oil, garlic, butternut squash, chicken sausage, and herbed feta cheese work so well together. if ever i ask my husband what he wants for dinner, this is what he requests. try it, and you’ll see why!
ham & cheese quiche
i decided to make ham & cheese quiche for brunch with some friends. when i told my husband what was on the menu, he had the audacity to ask “well steph, you’ve never made a quiche before, do you think you can properly execute it?” challenge accepted. let’s just say he had seconds, took the leftovers to work the next morning, and requested we have it again.. 🙂
baked brie en croute
this baked brie en croute appetizer is so simple & easy, and it is a total crowd-pleaser. it’s the perfect thing to make when you want to impress your guests but don’t have much time on your hands. everything is (gasp!) store-bought. all you have to do is toast the almond slivers & assemble. the cheese melts and gushes out of the flaky crust, the jam adds a touch of sweetness & the almonds that much-needed crunch. delicious!
