Closet Cooking. Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche with a Brown Rice Crust. With some of the heavier meals that I have been having recently I was looking for something lighter for breakfasts this week.
When I am looking for lighter breakfasts, egg casseroles often some to mind and this time I was thinking of something more along the lines of a quiche. Broccoli is another one of my favorite green vegetables available during the winter and I had been wanting to use it in something so I decided that a broccoli quiche was the way to go. Of course the natural combo of broccoli and cheese came to mind and I was immediatly thinking about broccoli and cheddar soups and broccoli and cheddar gratins and why not a broccoli and cheddar quiche?
Curried Cauliflower Rice. Rice side dishes are a staple that often find their way to my table and I always like it when you can incorporate some vegetables in them.
This cauliflower rice pilaf inspired by Food & Drink magazine is a perfect example of a rice dish that includes a vegetable and the cauliflower and rice combination is an excellent one. When I first read this recipe I noted that it seemed to be very similar to a lot of curry dishes starting out with some garlic, ginger and green chilies.
