Traditional Quiche

Another dish predominately originating from the need to use leftovers, and yet another dish that can be made super cheap or quite extravagant - depending on your mood (and wallet!) Another great positive for this dish, is that you can make it without the crust and then it can be quite close to a banting dish.

I am not much for these newer eating habits like banting, or low-fat/high protein, or any diet, really. I don't like supplements either. Your body can only absorb so much vitamins, minerals and nutrients. The rest your body simply discards. And, even though a lot of people don't believe it, probably because the media jumps on the band-wagon, I believe that with a full, balanced and natural diet, you get all of these things. And because you get it in the form you were supposed to, your body actually absorbs it better!

My babygirl "helped" mommy again in the kitchen, and my middle son also helped. He always wants to help! 

Up until a certain point and then he wanders off and go play in his tree house... 

I really enjoy cooking, and cooking with the kids (mostly) amplifies this pleasure. Sometimes they get underfoot, sometimes they are just simply more of a bother - but I wouldn't have it any other way!
