Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese Quiche

I didn't do a whole lot of cooking this past weekend. Sometimes I take on new recipes, or we make a big dinner together on Saturday night. Instead, we got Chinese takeout on Saturday night and I made this simple crustless quiche for Sunday.

I used the same basic recipe as for the Crustless Spinach Quiche that I posted back in April. You can certainly substitute any vegetable and cheese combo you like. Don't get me wrong, I love pastry crust, I'd just rather eat it with pie than eggs.

Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese Quiche
olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bunch Swiss chard, washed and torn into small pieces
4 ounces goat cheese
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Prepare a round ceramic baking dish by coating with cooking spray or butter. (I have a handy quiche dish, but a pie plate would work, as well).
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan.
Cook onion for a couple minutes.
Add in Swiss chard. It will look like a lot. Don't fear. Use tongs to turn it while it cooks down.
In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Spread cooked onion and Swiss chard evenly in baking dish.
Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over vegetables.
Pour egg and milk mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 40 minutes until middle is set and edges are golden brown. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann. Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos. But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks. I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself. Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help. See? See? But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia). My reaction was typical. This happens to other people.

Peanut Sauce Spaghetti Squash Bowls

I know, it's been a while. Turns out wrangling three little boys doesn't leave a lot of time for recipe writing and food photos. We still eat, though, and pretty well! Mostly I share quick recipes and meals on my Facebook page At Home With Ann , so please follow me there! I love spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta. It's healthy, way lower in carbs and higher in vitamins. It's also easier to prep than zucchini noodles, and I think it stands up to hearty sauces better. I simply stab it with a sharp knife a few times, and roast it in a 400 degree oven for an hour, or until a knife easily slides through the skin. Let cool, cut open, discard seeds and shred with a fork. Spaghetti squash with meatballs is in our regular dinner rotation, but there is often a lot of leftover squash. This easy vegetarian dish is a perfect quick dinner or lunch, and if your kids don't go for the peanut sauce, there is plenty of cut veggies for them to eat. Peanut Sauce Spa...

Not Really Engagement Chicken

There is an urban legend of the Engagement Chicken , a dish that if made for your boyfriend, he will be so impressed with your domestic skills he'll propose. I've been married for a year and a half, so I'm not putting it to the test, but I thought it might be a good way to make my first attempt at roasting a whole chicken. After research, I decided to take aspects of recipes from Ina Garten , the Pioneer Woman , and good old Joy of Cooking . The first step of making roast chicken is by far the hardest. You have to remove the neck and innards and rinse the raw bird. Because he is a good person, my husband did that part for me while I covered my eyes and ran out of the kitchen. After it was all clean and patted dry with paper towels, I stuffed a halved lemon and 4 cloves of garlic inside, and coated the entire chicken with olive oil. After coating with oil, I sprinkled liberally with salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. The best part is that th...
