at home with ann

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....

We had another big bunch of swiss chard in our CSA veggies this week, so I wanted to do something new.  A lot of the greens recipes I've found include bacon as an accent, because when you're getting all those healthy vitamins and minerals, you want to balance it out a bit.  Plus, bacon is really just a salty condiment.   This is another quick meal, maybe 20 minutes of cooking time.  Good thing since I realized at 9:15 at night that I needed to make something for the next day.  I do that a lot.   Bacon and Swiss Chard Pasta recipe from Bon Appetit Ingredients: 1 pound linguine - I used whole wheat spaghetti 12 ounces bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices 1 very large red onion, halved, sliced (about 6 cups) - I used vidalia 2 large bunches Swiss chard, stemmed, chopped (about 12 cups) 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese Cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/...
