Vegetarian Quiche - You left out the cheese! Really? In a quiche?

You left out the cheese!  Really?  In a quiche?  How do you do that! Well, I did - and actually it was still pretty good.  I made it for dinner for 3 of my granddaughters; Mr. C and I.  We rated it using a scale of 1 to 5, with a 5 being the highest rating.  We thought it was a little bland, but still gave it a 4 or 4.5.  Thinking about it the next morning - I had a picture in my mind of a package of grated cheese! And then realized I had forgotten it!  So I made it again the next night for dinner for Mr. C and I - this time I forgot the green onions, but remembered the cheese.  Mr. C and I gave it a 5 anyway, but next time I will put in the green onions too.
 My granddaughter Tiffany made this quiche for her sister Tricia's birthday breakfast. The recipe posted here is my low fat version.

Following is the recipe:

1 (10oz) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed

1 bunch green onions, finely chopped (use from white parts up to about half way)

2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, beaten

1/4 t salt and 1/4 t of pepper

1 (16oz) pkg non fat cottage cheese

1 1/2 cup shredded low- fat mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 325. Spray 9 inch pie dish with Pam spray.

Stir all ingredients together. Pour mixture into prepared pan.

Bake, uncovered, in oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with finely crushed croutons.  Then continue to bake for 15 more minutes or until eggs are set.

We have choices to make every day about the foods we feed our body –

We have choices to make every day about the foods we feed our body – we can either eat high fat “zero” nutrition foods that tear down health or choose foods that will build health.  One article I read called foods that build health “preventative nutrition”.  My first experience with this concept was twenty-two years ago when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.   The Doctor suggested I go on a low saturated fat diet to control it and prevent further damage.   I have followed the diet through the years.    I have had a strong desire to encourage others to use preventative nutrition and possibly escape the illnesses that come with poor eating habits.

If you have dealt with the ravages of illness, you may have a commitment to follow a good diet, but need some encouragement.  If you are free of any health challenges right now consider yourself blessed!  If you haven’t started eating a healthy diet – start now!  Practice preventative nutrition.

 I have always enjoyed perusing through cookbooks.  When I started looking for low-fat, healthy recipes, it became a game to see how many recipes I could find in a cookbook that would qualify.  Usually I end up making some changes in the recipe.  Many times there are only a few recipes in a cookbook that interest me.  So the format of this blog is to find a recipe, make it for our dinner, and if we like it - post it on this blog.
