I made this this morning, but with unroasted dandelion root. It was good, not something I'd care about drinking normally, but I think taking dandelion tea is good for me since I don't have a gallbladder. I need a spice grinder to grind up the dandelion root more finely.

crustless quiche with bacon, swiss chard, and zucchini

Against all Grain: meals made simple p58.
crustless quiche with bacon, swiss chard, and zucchini

This was really tasty. I made it in a 9x13 pan and baked for 20 minutes. I also made hollandaise sauce (her recipe in the book) which was ESSENTIAL. I had some problems with it splitting, and I realized later the water should have been at a gentle simmer and not hard boil. But it turned out ok. Next time I recommend following this video for hollandaise (but not this quantity): https://youtu.be/VXoqN_NnDc0?

David really liked this dish.

I made this with 6 T butter instead of 8. It was sooo good. I used gf fettucine. David was sick so had soup, and I took advantage and made this.
