Butternut Squash Bacon Spinach Quiche

I made this Butternut Squash Bacon Spinach Quiche, which is crustless (your welcome, my gluten-free friends!). The base is actually wilted spinach. I also took the liberty of adding a small sliced sautéed zucchini because I had it. You can basically use whatever you have on hand. Also, add your own seasonings to taste.

Citrus Pound Cake

I found this recipe from Melissa Clark in The New York Times. It's a great recipe because you have the option of using olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, melted butter, whatever you’ve got, and plain yogurt or buttermilk or sour cream, or whole milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. I have tons of citrus growing in my backyard, so I decided to make it. I always make 3 little loaves instead of one big one and freeze one for later.

Chicken Tetrazzini

Last night, my husband said we should make Chicken à la King. I happen to have a lot of chicken at the moment. I then proceed to tell him how to make Chicken Tetrazzini. I get them both mixed up!

It turns out the difference is that Chicken Tetrazzini has cheese in it and Chicken à la King does not. In the 1950s, you would open a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, a package of frozen peas, carrots, a can of sliced mushrooms, some Velveeta cheese, and chicken or turkey and voila...an abomination! Anyway, my version is delicious!

This Broccoli Cheese Soup is creamy, cheesy and comforting. It makes a great lunch. I made it in my Instant Pot, but have also included the stovetop instructions. The recipe is vegetarian, though you can use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock.

No-Fail Roast Chicken with Lemon and Garlic

I usually roast chicken in a clay pot that has been soaked in water, but I decided to try this No-Fail Roast Chicken with Lemon and Garlic. It's roasted in a cast-iron skillet and literally takes 5 minutes to prep. It came out perfectly tender and juicy.
