Happy Holidays!
Are you having fun putting up decorations, baking,
making lists and checking them twice?
Well, take a break. Today is for you!
Leave a comment below with your email, and I'll pick a winner in a few days.
In the meantime...
From Daryl aka Avery:
You all know how much I adore cheese and how much I adore quiche. I don't, however, adore the calories of a pie crust. I adore the FLAVOR! But there are times, like when we're approaching the holidays and know that we're going to have more calories to consume - delicious, wonderful, sweet and savory calories - that we need something that's a little lighter. This is it!
I tweaked this recipe from Martha Stewart's recipe by using fresh broccoli and Kerrygold Dubliner Cheddar. She used frozen broccoli and some other Cheddar. I like fresh and I ADORE Kerrygold.
This takes no time at all, which is a good thing because you're probably baking as you read this. Or you are in the grocery store viewing your cell phone. Or you are wrapping something. Or maybe you want to pull out your hair and scream Fa-la-la at the top of your lungs.
Breathe. (My favorite chant.) This is EASY to make. It works for dinner or brunch or lunch. And it keeps well so if you make four and only eat one, you can eat the other three over the next three days. How perfect is that??
