Warm egg white/spinach quiche

The other night I was craving something healthy, something fast and simple, and something comforting.  Nothing better than a nice quiche from the oven.  This recipe is simple and yes, very tasty

Recipe:

1/2 of red onion chopped w/ 2 gloves of garlic chopped fine (heat up in skillet)
Add 8 oz spinach around 2 1/2 cups (I used fresh spinach and cooked it w/ the onion and garlic

Add 6 egg whites
You can either put 1/4 c. feta cheese or 1/2 c. ricotta to the mixture
Add salt and pepper to taste

Mix together and bake at 350 for 30 min. 

spring watermelon salad

  I absolutely am falling in love w/ herbs.  You can grow them yourself and feel pretty handy doing so  and place them in your window sill to add color & vitality to your home.  there is something satisfying to be able to walk to your window, pick your favorite herbs fresh off the plant and cook w/ it. 

  I made this salad for lunch today and my little girl made the comment, "wow that sure smells good."  It smelled good and tasted just as fresh and lovely as well.  I love it when it tastes good going in, but also feels good in.  That is the key!  having your food feel good in the body after you ate it. 

Spring Watermelon Salad:
1-1 1/2 c. spinach
1/2 c. chopped watermelon
5 leaves of cilanto and mint each
drizzle balsamic vinegar

make the cilantro and mint into small pieces and mix through the spinach top w/ watermelon and balsamic.  Delicious!!
