Spring Vegetable Crustless Quiche

April 29, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a lot of crustless quiches in the past, and with Spring in full swing, I decided to make one that used up the bounty of veggies that Spring offers up such as spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus. Unlike some of my other quiches, I wanted this one to be the absolute start of the plate. So, I stuffed it full of veggie goodness, used more eggs, less milk, and ended up with a low calorie, high flavor dish that was perfectly suited to Spring.

I think one of my favorite things about quiche has to be that it can literally be enjoyed as a meal at any time of day; breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… any and all! When enjoying with breakfast or as brunch, I serve it with fresh fruit. But if it’s al lunch or dinner option, I dress it up with a soup and/or salad!…

Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake

This Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake takes the cake. Seriously! This cake is DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. It is jam packed FULL of yummy strawberry flavor and nothing about it is artificial or out of a box, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

The secret is in the sauce. To start this cake off right, you put a whole pint of strawberries to cook down into an amazing sauce. On top of that, you throw some freeze dried strawberries into the batter and the end result is a perfectly guilt free and AMAZING strawberry cake…

Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread

It’s Spring and you know what that means - blueberry lemon things for days! This Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread is pretty much the perfect Spring breakfast, brunch, or even dessert to make. Monkey bread of any kind has been one of my go-to breakfast options for years now. I think it all started when my little was actually little and monkey bread was one of those things that was easy for little fingers to grab and eat.

This monkey bread here is loaded up with big beautiful fresh blueberries and lemony goodness. It’s bright with the citrus of the lemon zest and has that hint of sweetness from the blueberries. Now, you could top this monkey bread off with some icing drizzle, but I thought it was pretty unneeded. A quick sift of some powdered sugar and some extra lemon zest and it was perfection!…

It doesn’t get much simpler than biscuits and gravy, but here today we have biscuits and a homemade gravy. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Homemade gravy? That sounds hard! Actually - It’s totally not! It’s super easy to make and tastes GREAT. So ditch the prepackaged BS!

Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole

I don’t know. I just like to shake things up sometimes by putting two or three things together that I enjoy and hoping that it turns out right. Today? It’s a monte cristo sandwich and a breakfast bake or casserole. Yep. And guess what? It’s pretty damn tasty if I do say so myself. I’ll tell you another thing, after this past week, I deserved a little somethin’ something’ special.

This Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole takes the cake. Like literally. It’s a monte cristo in the form of a better-for-you ‘strata’ or bake. Eggs. Cheese. Ham. Bread. Dijon. And you add a dab of raspberry preserves at the end and it’s done. And not depending fried or battered. Just good. Tasty. Breakfast…

Carrot Cake Bread

I’m not going to lie, I’m excited and yet a little apprehensive about Spring this year. Last year about this time is when the whole world went to shit. Here’s to hoping that this year will be at least a bit better, even if it still is a little different from years past. Until we know for sure? I’m going to start filling my belly with all things Spring! And what goes better with Spring than carrot cake?

This Carrot Cake Bread is definitely an excuse to eat carrot cake for breakfast. It’s loaded up with most of my carrot cake favorites; including pineapple, raisins, nuts, and of course CREAM CHEESE FROSTING…
