Not Sleeping

It really is 3:25 a.m. and I am not sleeping. I've been awake since 2; layed there for a while until the dog threw up and I couldn't let that sit until morning. I decided to finish our taxes (done)and heck, why not update while I'm at it...

The quiche was AWESOME and I tweaked the recipe a bit - The whole thing is 399 calories! Not that I ate the whole thing, but on a bad day, it wouldn't be that bad...

Yummy SPINACH Quiche - Preheat oven to 375 and combine:
  • 1 package of frozen chopped spinach (heat and squeeze out all excess water)
  • 1cup EggBeaters
  • 1/2 -3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese (I used FIBER ONE)
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded cheese (I used Trader Joes Lite 3-cheese blend)
  • A splash of skim milk
  • 2 minced cloves garlic
  • salt, pepper and whatever spices you like (I added Basil and Oregano)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cut salsa (I bought mine at Stop & Shop, but you can chop up your own onion, tomato, pepper, favorite herb)

Spray PAM into a 9" pie plate or square baking dish and add mixture. You can sprinkle a little more cheese on top. Cook for 30 minutes (insert knife in middle, it should come out clean). Let the quiche set up for a few minutes before cutting. Serve with a salad.

I made one for dinner Friday, which my DH and one daughter actually ate. I made a second one yesterday morning for my mom and I after muscle fitness class. It made for the perfect lunch and snack later in the day. Weigh in this week will be Tuesday. I haven't been on the scale all week, but I've been pretty good food wise and as good as I could be exercising with the kids on vacation. I am so glad to have them back in school. I really need to get my life (house) back in order.

And now I am actually starting to feel sleepy, so before I lose the opportunity I am going to try and catch a few hours before church at 9:00 a.m.
