quiche

8 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
Herbs if you'd like
Dash onion powder 
10 oz thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry
1 1/2 cup diced ham or 1/2 lb sausage (cooked)
1 cup grated mozzarella or Swiss cheese - with the 1/2 cup separated 

Heat oven to 350C, mix together eggs and milk then mix in all the other ingredients (except 1/2 cheese).  Put the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top, bake ~30 mins in a 9 inch pan until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

crockpot lamb bolognese

Can be doubled (double everything, except tomato sauce, see below)

1 lb ground lamb
1 yellow squash (grated)
1 zucchini (grated)
2-3 carrots (grated)
1 small 8 oz can tomato sauce (1 14 oz can for double recipe)
1 tbsp worcheshire sauce (I like the vegan brand at wegmans)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp herbs de provence (or similar italian herbs)
1/2 lb pasta (prefer linguini/fettuccini)

Saute lamb until brown (meanwhile I grate the veggies).  Add everything to the crockpot and cook on low 4 hrs (you can also add all the ingredients to the sauted lamb and simmer on the stove for 20 mins while starting/cooking the pasta).  Add a little pasta water to the sauce (1/4 cup), mix in the drained pasta, bring to a simmer, turn off heat and let sit 5 mins before serving.
