Quiche cups are about the easiest, quickest, most portable paleo dish out there. And I can’t get enough. These bacon, apple, and kale cups are scrumdiddlyumptious, and the pear and ginger ones are pretty good too. I suppose it depends on your palette. Ginger is not my flavor of choice. Lesson learned. These zucchini cups have, oh…3 ingredients. Plus salt and pepper. Plus they’re Portable, Paleo and Parent-approved. It’s a trifecta of Pleasant Perfection (or healthy Progress).

Simply Incredible!!! I have never had a quiche recipe work for me. They always end up a soupy mess and leave me frustrated and dejected. This one turned out so wonderfully and gorgeous - pretty enough for company. It tasted fantastic. I used a quiche pan instead of a 9" pie pan(as I said I never had one turn out, but it doesn't stop me from trying) ;-) If you like chorizo and want to try a quiche recipe that is totally fool proof - THIS IS THE ONE!!! Yummy!!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Shakshuka, the Middle-Eastern delight, where eggs are poached in a tomato-based dish, has been taken to the next level in this recipe by the addition of courgetti – which took the world by storm from dieters, low-carbers and those gluten-intolerant folks looking for a healthy alternative to spaghetti. Thankfully, there is no need for a spiralizer, as most supermarkets sell them ready-made these days (which is pretty eggciting), so all you need to do is follow this super-simple, low-calorie recipe and you will be Middle-Feasting on this perfect meat-free Monday supper in no time at all.

A very simple recipe for a classic, which helps you to get warm in the winter (ok, I mean when it is getting 4° Celsius in the night in Southern California). The number of servings is accurate when you have it as a meal - as a starter it should serve way more people. I did not list any spices, as I usually have self made chicken broth which is already pretty tasty and spicy, sweetness comes from the onions and the white wine balances it. For bread and cheese - don't think about any fancy, old dry bread is good and any cheese which melts. The onions are king when it comes to taste. Ovenproof crock bowls are very nice for final preparation and serving the soup.
