Real Men Eat Quiche.

Real men eat quiche. Not that I would really now. But anybody will eat anything when it has a crust made of bacon.

So here's the lowdown. I love quiche because it's easy to make, minus the crust. Since I went paleo I have no reason to not make quiche now. I decided this time to line the bottom of the pan with bacon...it was a good idea.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix:
6 eggs
Broccolli
Sliced ham
Pieces of smoked bacon
Sliced fresh Basil
Some butter...for good luck.

Line a pan with bacon. Pour the mixture in the pan, place it in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes.

Bacon-Wrapped-Chicken, anyone?

Hello there, ladies and gents.

So here's what when down for dinner today. I started by making my salad dressing (essentially a compote.)

Salad Dressing

 Dressing Ingredients:
-1/4 cup of butter
- 1 sliced apple (with peel)
- 2 cups of strawberry
- 3 tsp. of cinnamon

Heat the butter on medium heat in a pot, add the apple slices and let them cook a bit, till they're soft. Add in strawberries (fresh or frozen) and cinnamon. Keep cooking it until it's reduced to a thick liquid. It will smell delicious, but you must refrain from eating it till dinner. Honestly it's tasty enough to be a dessert.

I don't really like salad, so I made a bomb dressing to go on top. It definitely worked.

As for the salad that it was on....it had mixed greens, mushrooms, and macadamia nuts.

Salad

Then I made the chicken. Preset the oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
I bought boneless, skinless, organic chicken thighs, they got the the job done. The meat package said they would cook in 20 minutes which definitely wasn't enough. So just  cut one of the chicken thighs in half when you think they're done, if it's nice and white on the inside it's done. If it's pink you may want to put in the oven for longer to avoid salmonella poisoning (unless you're into eating raw chicken.)

So first I coated the chicken in the following spices:
- BBQ chicken spice (I don't know what it is, it's in the spice drawer)
- Italian Seasoning
-Oregano
-Dill weed

Put the spices in equal portions, about half a cup of the mixture is plenty to coat the chicken. After our chicken is nice and flavourful, we wrap it in BACON! Bacon makes everything better. After you put the chicken in the pan with some chopped onions (spanish or yellow.) Bake it until it's done.

Cooked chicken wrapped in bacon with onions.

 And voila, here is the final product. I'm not a good photographer, the camera doesn't do it justice.

Dinner! Om nom nom nom.

It was so yummy! I can't wait to cook even more :)

Salut!

Organic Israeli Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I dunno if you've seen these bitches in your produce section, but they are fireeeee! And by fire, I mean you'll wish you could gulp an entire ocean of milk in your mouth. Seriously...hot.

I put them in a veggie sautee cause I had to use up some spinach. So I fired up the stove, put butter in the pan, and went at it.

I first sauteed some onions with spices (tumeric, garlic, chili powder.) I then added in some sliced red hot peppers, fresh from Israel, and banana peppers. Once they cooked a little bit, I put in the spinach and waited for it to become cooked. Which took no longer than 15 minutes to prepare the entire thing. I also fried up some sausages to go along with it which took about 17 minutes. This one done simultaneously as to save time.

I wish I would have taken a picture because it looked scrumptious. It fed my dad and my boyfriend, I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat it. But I did taste a small bit of spinach...and that's how I figured out the peppers were fire, like 20 times hotter than banana peppers. I couldn't believe. I could smell the heat on them.

I'm pretty sure my boyfriend downed 3 glasses of milk with that meal, but hey, what can you do? :P

Oh well, tonight, I'm planning on making bacon wrapped chicken thighs with a mixed green salad with mushrooms and wildberries. NOM.

Bon appetit!
