Tomato Basil Spinach Quiche

This is really good and really easy. It's especially quick if you don't do a crust. It's great without crust and probably more healthy, but if you like crust (and I do) I've also put a recipe for the pastry.

Filling:
1 Tbsp oil
1 Onion, diced
10 oz. frozen spinach
4 breakfast sausage links
5 eggs, beaten
1 tomato, chopped or 1 can of diced tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp basil
1 Cup mozzarella cheese
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Grease pie pan. On medium heat add oil. Saute onions til clear. Add spinach and chopped sausage. Cook til spinach wilts and saugage is cooked through. Add salt and pepper. In a large bowl combine eggs, basil, tomatoes, cheese and a little more salt and pepper. Add spinach, sausage and onion. Bake 30 minutes.

Crust (Optional):
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter or margarine, cut into small pices
3 tbsp shortening
3 tbsp ice water

Measure flour and salt into a blow. Add butter or margarine and shortening. Combine with fork or fingertips. Add water a little at a time. Stir with a fork and form into a ball. Wrap in wax paper and chill for 20 minutes. Roll on a lightly floured board and fit pastry into a nine inch pie plate, then pour in the filling from above.

Burritos

This is something my family eats all the time. Jason just loves them and they're easy. Can't beat that. :)

1 can Chili
1 can Refried Beans
Cheese
Salsa
12-15 tortillas

Mix the chili and refried beans in a big bowl. Then warm tortillas (just a bit so they bend without cracking.) Put a line of beans down the middle of the tortilla, a layer of cheese, and a line of salsa. Wrap them up (Fold the top and bottom in so the beans don't escape and then roll the sides)
I like to fry mine in a frying pan. Cook them on medium heat until browned and warm all the way through. Enjoy!

Baked Dough for Christmas Ornaments

So I just got this from a friend the other day and haven't even tried it before, but I thought it sounded fun! And I thought it was appropriate for the Christmas season! =)

Materials - flour, salt, vegetable oil, water, paint

Instructions:

1. Mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 2 Tbsp vegetable oil.

2. Slowly add 3/4 to 1 cup of water and stir until you get a nice clay consistency.

Once completely mixed, make into the desired shapes for different Christmas themes. You can mold shapes, or roll the dough out and use Christmas cookie cutters to shape.

Bake your Christmas ornaments in a 250 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. This will vary depending on how thick your creations are. Paint your finished ornaments.

Hint: Do not make the Christmas ornaments too thick or they will crack with baking.
