Cheesy Chickpeas with Tomato and Dill

I like to keep canned beans and canned tomatoes on hand and I use them both frequently. These Cheesy Chickpeas with Tomato and Dill use up canned tomatoes and canned chickpeas and make a satisfying and healthy quick supper. I was getting low on groceries today, and for some reason, I had an excess supply of canned chickpeas. I figured, I had better use some of them up, and there are only so many hummus recipes you can do. That was the inspiration for this dish. I added dill in…

Spring Greens Crustless Quiche with Chimichurri
Call it breakfast, brunch, or supper, this Spring Greens Crustless Quiche with Chimichurri is a great way to highlight spring veggies. A beautiful egg and cream custard adorn asparagus, leeks, peas, and of course, I added some bacon in there for good measure. Dot with cheese and bake until just set. Serve this up with a drizzle of Chimichurri sauce and avocado. Quiche is a great make-ahead as it is also great served at room temperature. I only had 4 eggs left this morning and a bunch of beautiful green veggies to use up, so this is where the inspiration for this recipe came from this morning. Quiche is Versatile…

My middle son Jared was requesting that I make homemade mac and cheese for supper tonight, so I decided to enlist him as the head chef in the kitchen. Firstly, I wanted a break from cooking. But I also really want to try to teach him to cook a few things so that he doesn’t live off cereal and toast when he gets his own place one day. I have to say he did an amazing job tonight. This dish…
