I started a cooking class in my ward. And I'm the teacher. (The crazy part). The great thing is, as much as I was worried about it, it actually went really well. Here's what we made today:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Great way to introduce new vegetables to kids, husbands, etc.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Try zucchini, broccoli, carrots, anything you have on hand. Chop finely or grate: you don’t have to precook the veggies. Can easily double the recipe and make two!</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />Ingredients:<br />4 large eggs<br />3/4 cups milk or half milk and half cream<br />salt and pepper if desired<br />1/2 cup flour (white, whole wheat, or a mix of both)<br /><br />Filling suggestions<br />quiche lorraine: 1 cup cubed or sliced ham and 1 cup grated cheese<br />quiche aux legumes: one small onion, finely diced, ½ cup thinly sliced greens (I used spinach or chard, but not kale which is too chewy), ½ cup chopped red pepper<br />quiche provencale: 1 cup ratatouille (this is a great way to use leftovers)<br /><br />optional: dried herbs such as parsley or oregano<br /><br />Instructions:<br />1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl beat the eggs; add the milk and mix well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stirring constantly with a fork or whisk, add the flour a little at a time. Mix in the cheese, followed by the fillings you are using.<br /><br />2. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 or 12 inch pie plate and bake for 30 mionutes or until it puffs and starts to brown on top. Cool 5 minutes before serving (the quiche will settle and you’ll be able to cut it more neatly).<br /><br />TIp: Changing your quiche ingredients is also a great way to introduce new vegetables: the reassuringly familiar look of the dish may entice even the wariest of eaters.<br /><br />Note: Take care not to overfill your pie plate, as the quiche will puff up as it bakes. I place mine on a baking sheet in the oven in case it spills. The quiche will deflate after you remove it from the oven: this is normal. Kids like watching this souffle effect.</span><br />

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Scoop the cabbage mixture into the skillet and using a metal spatula spread the cabbage into an flat, round shape. Press down lightly with the spatula to get the cabbage as thin as possible. Cook about 5 or until the bottom is golden. To flip, slide it out of the skillet onto a plate. Place another plate on top and flip them both over. Add more oil if necessary before sliding the cabbage pizza back into the skillet. Press down a bit with the spatula to flatten the cabbage. Cook about 4 minutes more or until golden on the bottom.</div>

Three of my siblings (the ones attending BYU Provo) came for Easter dinner on Sunday. We read verses from the New Testament about the last week of Jesus Christ's life, lead by M. Our church meeting was meaningful for me. I felt Jesus' love for me while singing the closing hymn. During 3rd hour, the instructor showed this video:<br />

I had a blog once. Before the birth of my daughter, Z. And deleted it because I never posted anything. I post frequently on Facebook and realized that I probably should blog instead of driving my husband crazy with the frequency of my birth/food/parenting/other posts that constantly show up on his notifications. :)<br />
<br />
Here it goes, again. Welcome to my [new] blog.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I'm posting about my lunch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Side Note:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I read French Kids Eat Everything, and it has completely changed my views about eating, in the best way. Now, </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">I cook from scratch using the best ingredients I can find.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> At our house, </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">meals are served in courses. We're all working on eating slowly and savoring food. Our family avoids processed foods and seeks out new foods. I'm learning to like foods I used to hate. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">AND IT'S FUN!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<br />
Back to lunch...<br />

<br />
In case you are wondering, I don't always feel like serving in courses. Or cooking, for that matter. Today was one of those days. But I convinced myself that the dining experience would be worth the effort of planning, cooking, and dressing the table. And you know what? It was.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's your favorite lunch to fix?<br />
