Any Veggie Quiche

Note: This is delicious for any meal of the day.  It also re-heats well in the toaster oven or microwave.

Ingredients
1 unbaked pie shell
1/2 c Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1/2 c Milk
4 eggs, lightly beaten
8oz cheese (cheddar, swiss, mozzerella all work well)
14oz of cooked veggies (spinach, mushrooms, & onions is my favorite combo)
4oz cooked meat (ham or turkey) - optional

Directions

  • Set oven to 400degF.
  • Whisk Mayonnaise, Milk, and eggs together in a bowl.
  • Put unbaked pie shell in a pie plate and place pie plate on a cookie sheet for easy transfer into the oven.
  • Layer veggies, meat, and cheese into the pie plate. Slowly pour egg mixture over top of the veggies letting the egg get in between all the veggies.
  • Bake covered for 45 minutes.  Uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let set 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Italian Stuffed Zucchini (Zucchini Farciti)

Notes to Andrea: All the recipes are either not enough portions, ask you to measure the zucchini by weight, or make no sense.  Depending on the amount of zucchini available, you could make 7 zucchini's worth & if people eat 1-2 halves each we'd probably have leftovers.  Ingredient list is PER ZUCCHINI, directions are generic for the whole thing.  No need to blanch/steam unless you can not carve them out when they are raw. Plan ahead for fitting all the cut portions in step #1-4 in the largest glass baking pan in the vertical storage drawer under the ovens.  All needs to be baked at once in the end. ***vegetarian note*** Reserve out the zucchini flesh for the boats that you want to make vegetarian and prepare that stuffing separately.  You don't have to put anything in place of the meat at all, or you could add some of the Japanese eggplant or  any other vegetables.  I even saw some recipes that used carrots and peas (those seemed very "down home...

Crunchy Granola Bars

Note: I hate to even say it, but I liked the way these came out even better than Alton's ! Sorry, Mr. Brown. I left mine out in the open for a few days, though, and you could probably chip a tooth with them. But they are still fabulous. Don't forget to put them in an air-tight container! Ingredients 2 cups oats ("old fashioned" is best, but anything you have around will work) 3/4 cup wheat germ 3/4 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup nuts, in small pieces 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 4 Tbsp butter 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp Kosher salt 1 cup dried fruit Directions 1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Mix oats, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, and nuts on a cookie sheet (one with sides). Toast them in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. 3) Line a 13x11 casserole dish with Reynolds Release foil. This stuff is amazing. You will be so happy. 4) Bring brown sugar, honey, butter, vanilla, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan large enough to hold t...
