Broccoli Bacon Quiche

For dinner tonight I decided we were going to have breakfast.  I had some eggs and bacon I wanted to use, so I started playing to see what I could come up with.  The picture above is really a double batch of it, but only because I didn't realize there were two dozen eggs in the fridge.  I didn't mention it in the recipe below, but I also added about two teaspoons (for the double batch) chili powder and two teaspoons of smokey applewood bbq rub to spice it up a little bit and make it a little more dinner-ish instead of breakfast-ish.  Since I did double it, I just baked it in the skillet I used to cook the bacon and added a couple minutes to the cooking time.

Ingredients:

4 strips of bacon, diced
5 ounces frozen broccoli
3-5 cloves of garlic, minced
8 cherry tomatoes, chopped
4 large eggs
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 400.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan, add the broccoli and garlic and cook until tender.
In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Pour into two ramekins or a small baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes or until a knife put in the middle comes out clean.

Green Smoothies

So the girls at the gym got me started on these green smoothies for breakfast.  I know the idea of a green smoothie for something other than St. Patrick's Day is a little weird, but hear me out.  They are actually really good (the hubby even asked for one) and you knock out a couple servings of fruits and veggies, some dairy and get in a good amount of protein.  Plus it's great for being on the go! 
There's a ton of recipes on the internet, but here's the one that came up with.  You don't have to use the frozen fruit or protein powder, but I think it gives it a nice frothy texure.  Just make sure you check your teeth before any big meetings, sometimes the spinch can get caught in your teeth.

Ingredients

1 container greek yogurt with honey

1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder

1/2 cup frozen mango chunks

2 clementines, peeled and seeds removed

1 cup fresh spinach

Directions

Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
