a recipe for you: quiche cupcakes.

while watching 'no reservations' i was inspired to cook up something tasty for lunch.

my impromptu meal led me to the eggs.

i've never made a quiche before, but i figured it couldn't be too difficult.

and it wasn't.

**makes 8 quichecakes**

..get creative with this recipe, add ham instead of sausage...rosemary instead of parsley...whatever sounds good to you...

ingredients:

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

olive oil

chopped green pepper

chopped small onion

hot sauce

chopped garlic

1 lb. sausage

fresh parsley

splash milk

1. preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. saute sausage, garlic, onion, and green pepper together in olive oil until the sausage is golden brown.

3. once the sausage is nice and cooked, drain off the excess oils.

4. mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl, leaving some cheese to sprinkle on top.

5. ration out the mixture into baking cups and sprinkle cheese on top of each cup.

6. bake at 425, for 15 minutes.

7. eat and enjoy! goes great with hot coffee and an episode of 'no reservations' :)

ya!

a recipe for you: bite sized pies.

after being inspired by these yummy looking pie pops, i decided to give it a try.

i first attempted to use the lollipop sticks. but they fell out after baking.

fail.

so i decided to nix the sticks and just make bite sized pies.

success.

flavor: cinnamon strawberry (!)

ingredients:

store bought pie crust

egg whites

fresh strawberry preserves

cinnamon

1. unroll the pie crust and cut into circles (i used the rim of a glass to form a perfect circle).

2. place a dollop of strawberry preserves in the center of a circle and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

3. take another crust circle and place on top. using a fork, press the crust circles together...this also forms that pretty design around the edge.

4. brush the egg whites on top and bottom of the mini pies (this gives you that golden color).

5. bake at 375 until golden brown.

6. let cool and enjoy.

mmmmmmm......
