Spinach and Feta Quiche

1 Pie Crust (I used Pillsbury)
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 can petite diced tomatoes (use the whole can next time)
3/4 lbs. fresh spinach (about 10-12 oz.) Lightly steamed. or use frozen
green onions
green garlic
salt
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (I might use more next time)
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon flour

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare pie shell in the pan, and bake for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk. In a skillet add a little olive oil and saute the onions and garlic lightly. Add the spinach and cook until heated through. Add a little salt to help draw out the water as it's cooking. Squeeze extra moisture out of the spinach. Stir in tomatoes. Toss together the flour and Swiss cheese. Add spinach and cheeses to the egg mixture, stir to combine. Pour into hot pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50-60 minutes. It's done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Quiche can be served hot or cold. You can bake it without the crust too.

Rhubarb Crumble

Mom found this recipe and modified it a little when one of the boys mentioned that they had Rhubarb Crumble in Harry Potter. I'm glad she found it, it is yummy. I had to go find some rhubarb just so I could try it.

2 lbs. rhubarb, chopped in one inch pieces (I chopped it smaller)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Combine in saucepan and heat for about 5 minutes until rhubarb is glossy and ingredients are melted together. Pour into a 8"x8" baking dish (or an 8" pie plate, but place a baking sheet under it in the oven to catch drips as it will probably boil over).

Topping:

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
3 tablespoons vanilla sugar (or regular sugar)
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl. Use hands or pastry blended to work butter into flour to resemble small crumbs. (A food processor works too.) Add sugars and combine. Cover the rhubarb with the topping. Bake at 375 degrees F 35-45 minutes.

This is really good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

No Bake Cookies

mmmm.....My very favorite recipe for no-bake cookies.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups quick oats

In a medium saucepan combine milk, butter, cocoa and sugar. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 1 full minute. If it's a wet (humid) day, you may have to cook the mixture a little longer, unless you like your cookies on the gooey side. I think they are wonderful no matter how they turn out.
Next, remove from the heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, When peanut butter is melted add coconut and oats. Stir to combine. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool. Enjoy!
