I was a cooking fool today! Basically all I did besides a gym visit. It all started with
this here quiche from Whole Living that I've been wanting to make forever but a quiche is kind of a commitment on a Sunday morning.
However, today I followed through, and it was great! I would recommend adding in a little butter or oil to the crust prior to baking, it came out a little flour-y without a wet ingredient. I also used spinach instead of chard, added sundried tomatoes, and replaced the nutmeg with cumin.
Next I decided to try this
quinoa loaf from the Whole Foods recipe site. What's appealing (if it tastes good, I haven't sliced it yet..) is that I can take an individual slice with arugula to work and eat it like a veggie burger. Fingers crossed that this goes according to plan because mine definitely does not look like theirs..
Last I revisited an
eggplant dish from Dana Treat that I really like. It's a healthy version of a cream based indian dish, and I tried to take a picture to share but my phone made it look gross, which is the opposite of what I'm going for here. Similar to babaganoush, you roast the eggplant, scrape out the insides and then cook it down with a bunch of spices. Seriously guys,
yum.
