Cheesy Egg Bake

Ausust 31 146

This lovely thing is mostly a crustless quiche…kinda. But, oooooh…it’s good. So if you’re in the mood to toss something together, plop it in the oven and forget about it—then here’s your dish. Perfect for when the mornings are just a teeny-tiny bit cooler.

Ingredients

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsps butter
2 cups diced cooked ham or sausage
8 eggs
1-3/4 cups milk
½ cup flour
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper

Combine cheeses; place 3 cups of mixed cheese in an ungreased 13×9 baking dish and set aside. Saute ham in butter until done. Sprinkle cooked meat in baking dish over cheese. Top with remaining cheese. In a bowl, beat eggs—then add milk, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well. Slowly pour over the cheese. Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

If you doubled this then call in the farm hands.

A Country Quilt Fair

…at the Springville Art Museum.

For a limited time…only.

No rides. No farm animals. No cotton candy—or food of any kind on the premises, thank you. But somehow still a fair none-the-less.

By now…you should know how we feel about fairs…any sort.

We lovvve them.

I couldn’t stop looking at this one. It’s my favorite in the whole building. It was sewn with gold thread and sparkled like there was dew on all the leaves. So beautiful.

This one, “A Very Hungry Caterpillar”  was the babies’ personal favorite. They tried to eat it.

I’m not kidding.

So we had no choice but to go down the street and find…

Fresh. Peach. Shakes.

Also for a limited time only.

It couldn’t be helped.

After all…it was a fair.

Fresh Cucumbers

August 20 119

If you have ten billion cucumbers at your place—like some folks do this time of year—maybe you’d love an easy way to enjoy them–and to get your kids to do the same.

Start by peeling them like a potato. Now, I’m all for getting all the nutrients out of everything by leaving the peel on, but this is a fun bit of diversion from the norm. Compost the peels if you need to feel better about not leaving them on. That should help.

Next, pour about a teaspoon of salt onto the cucumber and rub it into the outside–gets rid of the bitter taste.

Cut the cute little veggie in quarters–long ways.

Slice or scoop out the seeds.

Rinse off the salt and any remaining seeds.

Slice them into cubes before some ridiculous bald kid comes along and makes you start all over.
