Carrot and Cheese Crustless Quiche
"This is a sneaky way to get kids to eat carrots! The mozzarella makes this taste so heavenly. You can also use zucchini in place or (or in addition to) the carrots. It makes 12 baby (12 month and up) servings and 4 adult servings. This recipe comes from Better Baby Food."

What a great place to start! I just can't resist "dinking" with a recipe. The only real changes I made were: I used a whole sweet onion, added about 1 C. of broccoli with the carrot, went for garlic powder instead of curry, and used a shredded Italian cheese blend... Opted for less salt and used no other spices. Used a 9x9 pan because of using more "guts" and I wanted to leave the cook time as is. Will have to go back and try it with the curry powder...might throw in some leftover chicken then, too! The possibilities are ENDLESS! This recipe is definitely getting sent to my daughter in college! Thanks for posting! -
This was the last of the seven that I printed yesterday that I expected my almost three-year-old would go for. I used the curry powder but not the paprika, and he LOVES it. So do we! It took longer in the oven for me and I cranked up the heat a little. Going to try oil sub for butter next time and see if he will still eat it. Yum!

I absolutely love my job. I get to stay home with my baby and observe her growth and changes everyday. I love playing with her and watching her practice old skills and learn new ones.
My husband is a wonderful Christian man. He loves to work on the computer and in his vegetable garden - which means we get lots of fresh veggies. He enjoys trying new and different things. His all time favorite food is spaghetti with sausage.
I love to cook. I started cooking when I got married 5 years ago. Then I could only make spaghetti. My husband encouraged me to try new things and now I love it!
I also try to quilt, but that is a completely different matter.
