Crustless Quiche
Remember that Wagyu Beef stir fry? I loved it and had some left over to reimagine into a crustless quiche for another meal; One of my favorite things to do in my quest to waste nothing! Quiche is a great dish for brunch, afternoon tea or just about any other meal plus it’s quick and easy. Some ideas… For dinner add a salad plus a glass of wine, for brunch some warm, crusty bread with butter and sparkling wine, and for afternoon tea some fruit. Add a mild salsa for a little kick!

Wagyu Beef stir fry
I’m always thinking of new ways to make vegetables delicious. What better way to do it then to add some tasty meat. Yes I know Wagyu beef patties are good as burgers and chopped steak but reinventing them into something more encouraged my creative juices! Getting more veggies into my mom’s diet is a secondary win! The cabbage cut thicker adds a pasta feel to the dish, added bonus!!
And I reimagined the leftovers too… can’t wait to share it.

Goat Cheese and Sausage Pasta
Pleasing my mom with a pasta dish usually means a white sauce. I love it when all the ingredients for a tasty and healthy dish are all handy. This one has plenty of flavorful veggies, sausage with the goat cheese finishing a sauce to perfection. The key is to prep the ingredients ahead so everything is handy to cook in almost a single pot. The biggest critic gave it a thumbs up so I’m happy.

Oxtail Stew
For Christmas I bought myself a Dutch oven. After much research I settled on a French made, round Staub for the most versatility for oven and stove usage. It’s been a rough few weeks for me and cooking has not been high on the list of daily chores but with a few ingredients and a lot of oven time, low and slow, plus patience it turned out great. This recipe is for 4 but it was made for mom and I to enjoy more than once. The cooking methods are simple and the ingredients were around the house to add to the oxtail!


Browse the photos for instructions and ingredients. Feel free to experiment and use other veggies of choice but I love these cause they remind me of my mom’s Chilean cazuela!!
