Broccoli Quiche

Crustless Quiche, to be exact.

1/2 a 1 lb.package of frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and well-drained (or fresh)
4 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1-2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or other cheese--I had some Mexican mix that I added)
4 oz. ham, chopped
half a package of mushrooms, sliced
1/2 an onion, chopped
sprinkling of shredded parmesan

Spray a pie plate with Pam or olive oil spray. Spread cooked broccoli in the plate. Spread the ham in the plate. Cook mushroom and onion in a bit of butter till softened and add to the pie plate. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over ingredients. Beat eggs and stir in milk. Pour egg/milk mixture over everything and stir to distribute everything. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Just before it is done, (set up but not totally browned) sprinkle Paremsan over the top and cook for 5 minutes more.

Mmmm chicken soup

I want to write down how I made this soup, because it was good!

So I had 5 chicken thighs in the freezer. I defrosted them and removed the skin and excess fat.

I cut up 3 stalks of celery, 2 carrots, and 1 onion and lightly sauted them in oil in the Dutch oven pot. Then I put the skinless (bone-in) thighs in the oil and cooked them till both sides were lightly colored. I added 6 cups of water and simmered it all for about an hour, I think. I removed the chicken and let it cool, and meanwhile, I added a cup and a half of German noodles.

I removed the meat from the bones when it was cool and shredded it by hand into large pieces, then returned it to the pot. I added salt to taste. That's it! I liked the large slices of carrots.
