chocolate malt ice-cream cake

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I see about a dozen recipes a week I want to try and then forget where they were or what they were. I just decided to copy and paste this one from the Betty Crocker website so it could be filed away here. If anyone tries it, tell me.

Ham and Broccoli Quiche

This was a very easy dish to prepare, and though the kids had qualms at first, once they tried it they liked it. Though the pie crust makes this so its not as healthy as it could be, we all agreed that was the really tasty part. I found this recipe through a google search for a ham and broccoli quiche and it didn't have any credits. Thank you to whoever.

Ham and Broccoli Quiche

1 package pillsbury prepared pie crusts

1/2 lb. ham

1 cup chopped onions

16 oz. frozen broccoli

5 eggs beaten

1 cup milk

1 cup swiss or monterey jack cheese (I had neither of those so I used cheddar)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spray 2, 9" pie pans with Pam and press in the pie crusts. A 9X13 also works, you just have to trim the crusts to fit into it.

Brown onions in a large skillet.

The recipe didn't say anything about thawing the broccoli so I stuck it in with the onions for a while when I beat the eggs and grated cheese.

Stir the onions and broccoli together with ham and cheese.

(I also made one addition at this point by putting in a layer of sliced zucchini at the bottom)

Layer ham/broccoli mix in next.

Stir together beaten eggs and milk and pour over the top.

I pressed the crust down to the level of the filling at this point so it wouldn't get to crisp.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Mine came out great at 45)

Sorry if my instructions are a little muddled because I only copied the ingredients and basics down and gave you instructions of what I did.

We served it with ketchup and salsa to convince the kids to eat it, but I liked it just the way it was.

Try it, you'll like it.

Banana Butterscotch Cake

The kids had already dug in before I could get a picture.

This is an adaption of a recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod. That recipe uses cinnamon chips and I had butterscotch. The results were scrumptious and you won't believe how moist it is without any oil or butter.

3 bananas

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup sugar (I reduced it to 3/4 cups of sugar the second time, and nobody noticed.)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup butterscotch chips, divided

I also added 2 pinches of salt the second time I made it.

Topping:

cinnamon sugar, or if you don't have it already:

3 tblsp sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375.

Grease and flour an 8x8 baking dish.

Mash bananas, add eggs, and vanilla.

Fold in sugar.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Mix into banana mixture.

Add 3/4 cup of butterscotch chips.

Pour into pan.

Sprinkle with leftover butterscotch chips and cinnamon sugar to make a crispy top.

Bake 35-40 minutes.

Cool on wire rack 15 min. before serving.
