Chickpeas anyone?

Does anyone else eat chili year round? We like it anytime. It's easy, you can double (or triple) it, it can simmer for hours, and it freezes well. Can't get much better than that! You can use a variety of beans, veggies, and spices but the following recipe is our favorite. Enjoy!

Spinach Bacon Quiche

This recipe is one of Forest's favorites.  We make it often!  I created this recipe from a variety of other quiche recipes.  Hope you like it!


Spinach Bacon Quiche


6 slices cooked bacon
10 oz. fresh baby spinach (or you can use thawed frozen)
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs beaten (or egg substitute)
1 T. cornstarch
1/3 cup diced green onion
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
dash black pepper
1 9" deep dish pie shell (pre-cooked according to package)


Pre-heat oven to 350º F. Pre-cook pie shell according to package directions.  I usually use the Publix brand refrigerated pie crusts and pre-cook the crust for about 10 minutes in a 350º oven.


Cook bacon.  Crumble when cool.


While bacon is cooking, wilt spinach in skillet over medium heat.  I use a little sprinkle of oil in the pan.  If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze spinach dry.


In a large bowl blend mayo, sour cream, milk, eggs, and corn starch.


Combine remaining ingredients and pour into pre-cooked pie crust.


Bake at 350º for 45 minutes or center is cooked-through.
