Chicken Broccoli Quiche

Dinner tonight is a quiche I made for J and his momma when she came to see our place a few weeks ago. I found the recipe on, you guessed it, pinterest. It linked me to Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice. I find that the recipe for the filling (minus the egg mixture) is enough for 2 pie. This time I froze it in the 2nd pie crust since we are going on vacation in the next few days so I know I wont make it again anytime soon. And its really not at all healthy so it not something I plan on making very often. Altho I could make a healthier version I'm sure.

 Chicken Broccoli Quiche
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic*
salt/pepper
2 c cooked chicken, cut into bite size pieces
2 c cooked broccoli florets, cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 c shredded cheese
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 pastry crust
4 eggs
3/4 c heavy cream

 3/4 c milk

*notes: I didnt used fresh garlic I used garlic flakes (follow the instructions on package) and I didnt cook my broccoli. And the chicken was the rotisserie chicken sold in most grocery stores.

Preheat oven to 350.
Break down chicken.

Melt butter in small skillet. Add onion and garlic. Saute until tender.

 Mix broccoli, chicken, both cheeses, and the onion/garlic together. Season with salt and pepper.

In another bowl whisk eggs, milk and cream until eggs are combined.

Fit broccoli mix into 9 inch deep dish pie dish. This is where you can see there is more the one pie's worth.

Pour egg mixture over, making sure filling and egg mixture are evenly distributed.

Bake for 50-60 minutes until center is set, you can check by inserting a knife and if it comes out clean its done.

Let rest for 10 mins before cutting.


There are a million different ways to do a quiche. We put bacon on top the first time. And we liked it  better letting it set for closer to 20 mins or maybe more. But its very filling and plenty for 3-4 people.

Calories for 1 slice: 671
Fat: 44

So I am now off to go run or kill myself....

EDIT: Its not quite as bad as I thought. I forgot I can make 2 pies w/ this...if I think about it I will re-do my numbers and fix it but for now I am going w/ closer to 450 and 30. Phew, thats a little better.

Weekend Wrap Up

*Thursday night, my Fridays, I went over to seem my old roomies. I hung out over there for awhile, got the scoop on the new roommates and how they hate them. lol
*Friday was my lazy day. I went grocery shopping. Made tator tot cass. Krystal was supposed to come over but she ditched me. So that was nice. lol Then later that night was when Kevin and I get into a little situation. And I cried. lol.
*Part of Saturday was quite lazy at first also. But then Saturday night Krystal and I went to play Bingo. So fun even if we never win. And we were the first outta the parking lot! WAHOOO! We won that. Ha.
*Sunday before work Kevin and I had that great convo. Then I went to work. While I was at work Kevin and I talked some more. That convo was also awesome. We talked about the future. Got some good info. We started the whole "I'm not on the pill" convo and he said he had a vasectomy. That made me sad, and he asked me if I wanted kids one day. I said I did. Just 1. A girl. I asked why he did that w/ only one kiddo. His reply was that he only wants one. I told him that made me a little sad but it didnt ruin everything. And he said he's not opposed to having more kids. Awww...seriously, guys. He'd be willing to put his junk back under the knife just to make adorable fat babies w/ me. If thats not true love...lol.

That was it. Exciting right? Arent you jealous of my life??

Weekend Wrap Up

Friday I woke up w/ a sweet message from Kevin. I had intended to spend go grocery shopping and run a few other errands. I stopped by the Dollar Tree first and then headed over the Walgreens. By the time I was done there I didnt wanna do anymore shopping. I was hot and sweaty and the mosquitos* were swarming me like mad men. I had bought some halloween decorations but I wasnt gonna risk myself for that. And I have a whole brand new bottle of Off that I cant find anywhere. Ugh stupid.

Bingo

Saturday was my company picnic. Picked up Krystal and headed out there. It was such a nice day. I had 2 more tickets and gave those to my mom. The 3 of us had a blasty blast cracking up of dumb things like we like to do. We played some Bingo, didnt win then headed home. After dropping Krystal off, I went and got some Off. There was nothing left on the normal shelf, luckily there was a table set out and there were about 6 Deep Woods Off left. Thats it.

The Bestest BFF/Cousin and me



*So we have gone all summer long w/o any mosquitos. Normally we are fighting them all summer. But bc of the lack of rain we had none. Well it finally rained a good amout and a slight cool front and holy crap they are so bad. When I take chance out I literally have to dance around. They swarm any warm blooded creature as soon as you step outside. The only thing that sucks is I dont wanna come to work smelling like Off. And even after I walked Chance last night, I jumped right in the shower and it didnt seem to wash off? I guess its not supposed to come off that easy. So for the walk this morning I sprayed in on my clothes and wore 2 layers. Its so bad.

Thursday Thirteen

Heres are the 13 things on my brain right now.

1. Kevin - LOL of course. Sigh...I really like him.
2. My Family - This is to general for just one number so as I hit them they will get their own numbers. I feel so disconnected for some reason. I dont know if I am purposely doing it to keep from hurting or what.
3. My Mom - She left my dad and my relationship with her is ...changing. I love her so much, she is one of my best friends. But I found out stuff that had been happening that I felt like I didnt need to ever know. Now I have to figure out this new mother/daughter thing.
4. My Dad - Hes my stepdad. Yes I love him. Hes been w/ my mother and I since I was 2 but that doesnt change the fact that he is an alcoholic and an asshole. Do I want to have a continued relationship w/ him?
5. Ronnie - My older younger brother. He knocked up his gf and they are keeping it. Probably gonna get married. Dont like her. HATE that another person is having a freaking baby.
6. Halloween - I am so bummed out that we arent having our annual awesome party w/ the DJ. SO SO So so sad. Typically every year my mom throws a Halloween party w/ a DJ and everything and its awesome.
7. Ryland - His trial is quickly approaching. 1/26. OMG! I really worry that he has learned anything during this time locked up.I really dont think I can handle having to go my whole life visiting my baby brother in prison.
8. Russell - I wish I could just snap my fingers and make our situation normal. I hate the amount of involvement we still have. But I'm working on it. Just a few more weeks hopefully.
9. WLS - I had to cancel the last seminar and I am waiting for another Sat one to come along so I register again.
10. I want a baby. Its a phase but I do.
11. Being on my own and making it work. FYI Do not watch American Horror Story right before bed. OMG!!!!
12. Javi - I told him I had moved on and he got pissed at me. He only text me like once a week. He never has time to hang out. It took like 4 weeks to get him to come over and meet. Plus he isnt physically what I am interested in anyway so...no thanks.
13. Grocery shopping. I need to do it. I need cat litter, cat and dog food, milk, cheese, eggs, sugar, and lunch/dinner foods. I'm waiting....

So there ya go. 13 very random but honest thought I have had today. If not everyday.
