Curry Couscous Salad

2 ½ cups couscous
4 cups of chicken stock
½ onion
2-3 carrots
2 t. cumin
1-2 T. yellow curry powder
½-1 cup crasins
Handful of chopped cilantro (optional)
Handful of sliced almonds (optional)

Sauté onion and carrots in a little olive oil. Add chicken stock and bring up to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in cumin, curry, crasins and couscous. After the couscous has absorbed all the water, add cilantro and almonds. Fluff with a fork. Serve hot or cold.

Quiche

If you are like me you always have a few eggs in the fridge and if you are also like me you often find yourself staring into the fridge at 5 PM trying to find something to make for dinner. Here is your answer!

9 inch unbaked pie shell (homemade or frozen) **I usually just skip the crust
A handful or two of grated cheese (any kind)
10-12 eggs
A splash of milk (roughly the same amount you use when making scrambled eggs)
Add any amount of any of the following: green onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
1-2 handfuls of any of the following: bacon, sausage, ham, etc. (cooked)
Salt & pepper to taste

Whisk eggs and milk together. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Pour mixture into 9 inch round pie shell OR if you are skipping the pie crust simply spray a 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray. Cook at 350 for 45 minutes, test by sticking a knife into the center-quiche is done when knife comes out clean. Quiche will puff up in oven, let sit on counter for 5-10 minutes to deflate.
