Brunch Quiche


I've never really had a quiche before, I just figured meat + cheese + eggs = yummy goodness. And yummy goodness it was! We had Rachel and Will over and I decided to make a Turkey Sausage Quiche, Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and a green salad.
Since I don't have a pie dish, I made it in a spring form pan (which I LOVE!) It just popped right out.

Turkey Sausage and Cheddar Quiche

1 Frozen pie crust
4 Turkey sausage links (uncooked)
1 Onion, sliced
1 Zucchini, chopped
1 Green pepper, diced
6 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups Cheddar, shredded

Saute sausage, add onions, peppers, zucchini. Let cool.
Thaw out the pie crust, according to box instructions (or you can make your own). Unroll into spring form pan. Press down around the edge. Prick bottom of the crust with a fork. Fill with the sausage mix.
Whisk 6 eggs in a separate bowl, add milk, salt and pepper. Pour over pie.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 40-45 mins. Half way through, top quiche with cheese. Stick a knife in the center, if it comes out clean - you're ready to dig in.

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

4 Potatoes
Olive oil
Rosemary
Salt & pepper
Garlic powder
Oregano

Chop potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 mins or till tender.

Octopus with Smoked Paprika


We got some canned seafood from our Barcelona trip - one of which was octopus. I didn't know what to do with it, so a googled for some recipes and found this recipe.
True to their word, it was very simple, and very tasty.

Turkey Chili

An honest bowl of turkey chili.

Christmas Cookies


Cookie time! This year I don't have any free weekends for my annual cookie swap. But that doesn't keep me from baking cookies. I did my usual White Chocolate Cranberry cookies. Along with Roll-Out Brownie Cookies and some Ambiguous Gingerbread People.
Roll-out cookies take so much more effort! Still worth it though. One lesson I learned - the thicker it is, the softer and tastier the cookie turns out.
