I love to experiment in the kitchen, but sometimes life gets just too hectic to spend a lot of time playing around creating meals. This was certainly the case the past couple of weeks with preparing to move, and now, getting all unpacked. When you’re not sure where your plates are or have to go digging through boxes to find a knife to work with, meals tend to be pretty simple.
That’s why lately my dinners have included some quick, staple meals – including brown rice with veggie quesadillas, salad with pasta, and grilled cheese & homemade sweet potato fries. I can’t wait to get all settled in so that I have the tools and energy to be more creative in the kitchen again. Just another day or two and I’ll be there!
Even when I don’t have a big life happening going on like a move, some days just get really busy and I need to whip up dinner easily and without much thought. That’s where my go-to meal ideas come in handy. While some of them aren’t quite as simple as a grilled cheese, they all require minimal prep work, and I know I can count of them to be tasty. This brings me to today’s recipe:
This quiche takes about 10 minutes to prep, then you can get things done around the house, squeeze an at-home workout in, or perhaps relax with a glass of wine while it bakes in the oven. Quiches are also great as leftovers – whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
