Crustless Broccoli Quiche
When I make quiche, it’s usually on the weekends, because I don’t have time to make it for breakfast during the week. I suppose I could make quiche for dinner every now and then, which isn’t a bad idea! This quiche would be great for dinner because it has lots of broccoli and Swiss cheese…

I still had some extra kale after making my Roasted Veggie and Kale Salad, so I thought I’d make a smoothie with some of it! I had read awhile back that kale has 10 times the vitamin C, 4 times the vitamin A, almost 2 times the vitamin K, and more calcium and vitamin B6…

Chocolate Chip Muffins
When you’re in the mood to bake some muffins, these Chocolate Chip Muffins are a great choice! They’re nice and cake-y with lots of chocolate chips in every bite! In fact, they’re so chocolatey, you don’t need a glaze on this muffin because it’s plenty sweet all on its own.
