Mini quiches - pastry free

These are like SUPER EASY and glutton free and delicious and high in protein and can be frozen and then defrosted.. sounds good ha? anyway here is the super easy recipe. You will need a muffin tray and the recipe makes about 6. Lovely for lunch for you and your little one (as long as there is no egg allergy).



Ingredients

2 eggs
splash of milk (about 50ml)
zucchini, half and graded using a grader
handful frozen peas
2 slices of ham (any variety you might like) chopped finely
handful of Parmesan cheese (or any cheese that you have in your fridge)
oil to grease the muffin tray
salt and pepper to taste

Method

• Preheat oven to 180 Degrees Celsius and grease the muffin tray with oil
• In a pouring bowl crack the two eggs and using a fork beat them for half a minute. Add the splash of milk and stir the mixture
• Now its time to arrange; on the muffin tray spread the ham, zucchini and peas evenly among the 6 holes (you can also use a different variety of fillings, fun to experiment!); on top sprinkle the Parmesan cheese; using the pouring bowl, pour the egg mixture evenly between the 6 holes making sure all ingredients are covered. If some poke out use a fork to push it all down
• Once all ingredients are covered, bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes checking to see that the top is nice and brown before removing. The quiches will collapse after being removed from the oven.

Salt and Pepper to taste and serve with a nice crisp salad, Enjoy xx

1 - Lucy and Mike

I have decided to create a list of all my favourite things, mind you not in any actual order. There is so much in my life that I love and am grateful for and in this little way I would like to say "Thank you" to the universe for providing.

First and foremost is my Gorgeous daughter Lucy with my one and only Love. Really do not know what I would do without these two in my life.

Puff the magic Dragon and other such music that I now listen to

I use to be all about the music, my hubby is all about the music... we have music in every room, we go to concerts and we (well he mostly) knows music. It came as a bit of a surprise this morning as I walked into the living room after my gorgeous sleep in, that I encountered Lucy and Hubby dancing away to "Puff the magic dragon"! Who would have thought?

We were so determined to give Lucy the best musical education, I was thinking classical music to stimulate her and some Beatles (cause you can't go past THE Beatles) and Hubby was hoping for Metallica and of course The Foos. So it came as a bit of a surprise for me as I entered the room and saw them dancing to kids music...what have we come to?!

It amazing the amount of things that we were "never going to do!" that have now become everyday life, music just being one of them. I have spend years going to Rhyme Time at libraries, singing and dancing at Einsteinz music classes and I still believe that music plays an important part in development. I have throughout my years kept kids music in 'activities' and only listened to adult music at home. I still remember little Selena at the age of 3 singing to James Blunt 'You're Beautiful', making up the lyrics as she sang along, a Great memory.

And now, with little Lucy its all out the window. Hubby downloaded kids music and every morning I wake up to it playing. But its not as bad as I imagined, the smile on her face and her bopping up and down to it makes it tolerable if not enjoyable.
