Read MoreBeef Fajita Crustless Quiche
As of midnight tonight, we here in Austin (and surrounding areas) are on official lock down with a ‘shelter in place’ until April 13th. This comes after being under a quarantine mandate for a week or so as well. Being as times are tough for everyone, I’m trying to be super creative in how I use up leftovers and the few pantry staples that I have been able to get my hands on.
Being as we had beef fajitas a few nights ago, I had some leftover cooked beef and peppers and onions. So I thought I’d use them up in a quiche because when growing up, quiche was one of the few ways that my family would repurpose leftovers. It’s simple, easy, and delicious every time…

Alright - so a few weeks back now, we actually went OUT and ate dinner somewhere. Can you even imagine? At least I’d like to think that it’s obvious that 90% of the food in this house is cooked in my very own kitchen. Occasionally though, I like to take a night off.
This one night in particular, we went to one of my favorite places. A local modern tex-mex influenced place where they put a modern (and usually healthy) twist on their food. They always have local seasonal items on their menu. And this time around, they had a naked chile relleno. Which you know I had to order…
