Bacon, kale, and cheddar quiche

Cut and fry up 6 slices of bacon
Pour out onto paper towels to get rid of the grease
use same pan to fry up 1 small onion
Beat 6 eggs together

Add all ingredients plus:
1 cup shredded cheese (I like cheddar)
1 cup frozen kale/spinach

Pour into one frozen pie crust.

bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until done

Butternut Squash Dessert

• 1 large butternut squash, about 3 to 4 pounds
• 2 apples
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until squash is tender

Crockpot BBQ Drumsticks

I defrosted a bunch of drumsticks to make stew but then realized that I had no veggies. Sadness. Decided to try making just drumsticks in the slow cooker. We'll see how this goes:

12 chicken drumsticks



1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar/honey

8 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

In a large bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and tomato sauce. Add drumsticks and stir to cover chicken with sauce. 

Cook on low 6 hours.

If you want, you can also evaporate away the leftover sauce over the stovetop and pour the thickened sauce over the drumsticks. I didn't have soy sauce at the house yesterday, so instead I used 1/2 cup of teriyaki (Trader Joe's Soyaki) and didn't put in any sugar. Also, I make one batch of drumsticks and removed the drumsticks and put in another batch of drumsticks and added carrots, celery, and potatoes - both the chicken and the vegetables came out AMAZING!!!
