Lars here is my quiche recipe. It has a whole grain crust, which I must admit I have never made, but I make the filling all the time. You can sub any vegetable for the broccoli if you don't like it. I got the recipe from "Vegetarian Times" magazine years ago. Low-Calorie Quiche Crust: 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup unbleached white flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. baking powder 1/4-1/3 cup canola oil 2 TBLSP lemon juice 1 1/2 tsp. honey 2-3 TBLSP COLD water 1-2 tsp. toasted ground sesame seeds Preheat oven to 375. Grind oats to coarse flour in blender or food processor. Mix dry ingredients. Drizzle in oil until mixture looks like coarse sand. Add lemon, honey and 2 TBLSP water til dough forms ball. Add more water if necessary. Roll between wax paper. Sprinkle sesame in pie pan first (optional). After shaping dough into pie pan, prick crust on sides and bottom. Bake 10 min. then remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Filling: 1 tsp. water or olive oil 1 cup minced diced onion 1 tsp. minced garlic 3 cups small broccoli florets or other veggies chopped small 1-2 TBLSP water 2 large egg whites 10 oz package soft silken tofu 1 TBLSP prepared mustard (dijon) 1 tsp. dried basil or rosemary 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper (I use white) 1-2 TBLSP grated parmesean (I have to admit I use about double that!) Heat 1 tsp. water or oil in a nonstick skillet over med. heat. Add onion and saute 3-5 min. Add garlic and broccoli and 1-2 TBLSP water. Steam until broccoli is bright green ~2 min. (Note: this is a lowfat recipe, so you could saute the veggies in more olive oil if you weren't worrying too much about calories. I often just use frozen broccoli and no water.) Drain veggies if necessary. Place veggies in the pre-baked crust. Whip egg whites until frothy. Add tofu, spices and parmesean cheese. Blend until smooth. Pour into pie crist. Garnish with red pepper if desired. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Note: can sub brewer's yeast or fake parmesean for the parmesean cheese. I've had it that way, it is good too. Not a traditional quiche, more like a "tofu vegetable pie" but still good if you like veggies. Seems like it would be good with artichoke hearts too, I like the combo of artichoke and red pepper. I have also made it with zuchinni and yellow squash.

Nothing. After a couple of hours' sleep, I was in the garden a bit before 8 (it rained some last night, but not muddy) picking regular peas and edible-pod ones, green beans and lettuce to take to the two churches that I attend, one at ten and the other at 10:30. After clean-up ... it was just 11 when I got out of here, dropped the tray of veggies at the 10:30 one just before service was over, got to the second just before 11:30, when not only service but much of coffee hour was over, with some heading home. So ... I had coffee and a few cookies just before noon. Canadians will know what "Tim-bits" are ... (Tim Hortons, nation-wide popular coffee house, carries donut holes, calls them "Tim-bits" which one can purchase as singles, by the few or by the box) ... well ... I've found that they have donut-holes at one No Frills store in town (and a couple don't seem to) so I bought a box and had several with milk when I returned home in the early afternoon. Did someone say, "Not very balanced and nutritious a diet, that"? Guilty as charged, I guess. A few days ago I put three heaping tablespoons of Cream of Wheat into a bowl with water and salt, microwaved it for 2? 3? min. Not enough water, I guess - usually it cooks around the edge, still gruelly in the middle, needs a stir and another shot. This time, it was thick and dry. It took me several minutes, after adding water, of gentle, stroking stirring to get the lumps cleared out. We've had a rainy, cool spring and start of summer, with crops delayed. I was pleased the other day to see that my turnips were growing well, but when friend and I looked at them today, some tops were drooping - they were rotting at the top. Little black bugs had got into them and several were soft and mushy inside, largely eaten away. We have a gardening guru on phone-in over province-wide section of national radio every Monday, but tomorrow's a holiday so he may be in on Tuesday, so I'll try to get through to find out what I need do to combat the little devils. Also, almost didn't plant cucumbers, as for three years their leaves have turned golden, then go brown and crispy - from blight, they say - just after flowering, when fruit is getting started ... but put some in ... and I see that the leaves of one hill are getting that golden cast, again. Drat! Good wishes for a beautiful summer week. ole joyful

I had overnight oatmeal, milk, an orange and coffee. I had mixed apple cinnamon greek yogurt into my cereal, not a type I tried before. I love apple and/or cinnamon but for some reason it didn't seem right with the oatmeal. I think I will stick with my usual yogurt flavors of orange, pineapple or lime.

DH and I just finished eating. I don't usually "cook" breakfast but did this morning. Coffee, turkey bacon (which he is not crazy about, I want "real" bacon lol) dippy eggs and toast.
