A savory, healthful crustless quiche, packed with veggies and eggs, and sacrificing none of the flavor! – – It’s time. We’ve set a date for our wedding, and while October 2018 is over a year away, I really need to do better about my eating habits. I was doing pretty good there for a while with recipes like vegetarian samosa burritos (tcc recipe), and rainbow vegetable pad thai (tcc recipe), but I’ve been pretty lax the past few months with the stress and business of buying a house and traveling up to NJ to look at wedding venues in addition to normal life. So this was an attempt to…

Silky in texture and livened up with red onion, cumin, and tomatoes, here’s a perfect party recipe for when store-bought just won’t cut it! – – You really can’t get much better than a perfectly silky ripe avocado.

Here’s another one of our go-to game day snacks! I don’t know about you all, but if I can stuff jalapeno popper filling into pretty much anything, I find a way to make it happen! Like this jalapeno popper stuffed bread or jalapeno cheddar stuffed burgers. Because everything is better stuffed with cheese and a hint of spicy. It’s funny to me, because about a year ago, I wouldn’t touch the stuff. I was not a fan of spice on any level, probably because I was just a big big wuss. I’m still a wuss on most people’s scales I’ll bet, but I’m…
