Breakfast Quiche (or dinner!)
Crustless Quiche
1/2-3/4 cup Bisquick
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Pinch of Salt and dash of pepper
1 1/2 cups of grated cheese of your choice
Vegetables of choice-
(diced Zuchinni, mushrooms, chopped spinach, broccoli, green peppers, onions, can of diced chiles, etc)
Meat of choice-
(Bacon, diced ham, etc)
Beat together bisquick, eggs, milk and melted butter. Add salt and pepper. Mix in grated or diced cheese, vegetables, and meat of your choice. It is really versatile- you can add what (and how much) you like.
Bake at 400* for 35-45 minutes.
After 15 minutes I like to place sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Continue baking until egg mixture is set and cheese is crispy and brown. Let it stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
This was something simple and really yummy! I'm not even a big fan of eggs, but I liked it.

1 medium onion
4 tablespoons oil

cilantro leaves...from about 10 stalks of cilantro (chopped)
10-15 corn tortillas...cut into bite size pieces and fried in oil right before serving

Saute garlic and onion in oil. Add tomatoes, broths, cumin and chili powderm mixing well. Add cilantro. Simmer one hour on medium heat. Just before serving add chicken and heat all the way through.
Heat oil and drop in cut up tortilla chips...they will cook quickly...remove from oil and allow to drain on some napkins. Salt them after cooking.
When you serve the soup...top each bowl with some fried tortilla chips, some grated cheese and a few avocado slices. (I also sliced some limes and squeezed one and dropped one in each soup bowl.)
