Green Pepper, Pineapple, Chicken Skewers

Ok, the fun part about this recipe is that you could really thread a ton of different veggies on the skewer if you wanted! I chose green pepper and fresh pineapple because it sounded the most delicious with the spices I intended on putting on the chicken!

Sorry for the last few posts being so open-ended and non-specific, but these recipes really just depend on how many you want to make and what your personal tastes are! #sorrynotsorry

Ingredients:

Chicken tenderloins
Green Pepper
Fresh Pineapple
Crushed red pepper
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Brown Sugar
Garlic (powder OR fresh minced)

Cut your tenderloins into 3 - 4 pieces each.

Combine all the spices in whatever ratio you deem best and toss over raw chicken pieces until very even.

Soak skewers in water.

Thread pineapple pieces, green pepper pieces, and spiced tenderloins onto skewers.

Grill until chicken is cooked through.

BONUS:

Have a few grilled skewers with JUST pineapple.... Ohhh my word, yum!

Summer Quiche

Ready for another yummy and easy one?!

Summer Veggie Quiche! Ok, so we all love home-grown veggies, right? Either you grow them yourself, or you stop at a farmers market or maybe get them from a friend whose "harvest" is a little too plentiful for them!

This quiche is practically guilt-free, so eat up :)

Ingredients:

4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Skim Milk
1 Zucchini
2 Tomatoes
1 Ear Corn
Salt and Pepper
1/2 Cup Shredded Cheese of choice
Half an onion, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Chop up your veggies, putting each one in a different bowl. (Corn should not be cooked first, neither should it be of the frozen variety! Fresh is key!)

Sautee zucchini for a few minutes in 1 tsp olive oil just to soften it.

Mix together your eggs and milk, then pour into a well-greased pie dish.

Layer half of your chopped tomatoes as well as all of your corn. (If you want onion, add it now) Add zucchini in a pretty arrangement on top. Then sprinkle your cheese. Top with freshly ground pepper.

Bake for 50-60 minutes (eggs must be cooked thoroughly!)

Enjoy while topped with remaining tomatoes or any other veggies your heart desires.

I like sour cream on top of mine... which isn't as guilt free so it's not in the picture, haha. Doesn't mean it didn't go in my stomach!
