Kim's Quiche

This is an adaptation and combination of a few quiche recipes to the "way I like it." Hope you enjoy....

-2 cups shredded Swiss or Cheddar cheese (I usually have the best luck with Swiss)
-2 T flour
-1 1/2 cups half & half
-4 eggs, slightly beaten
-1 pound of ground sausage, browned and drained
-Refrigerated (or frozen) pie crust
-Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and pour into a 9 inch unbaked pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Pineapple Limeade

This is one of my favorites to serve at a shower!

-½ cup sugar
-3 cups pineapple juice
-½ cup lime juice
-1 liter sparkling water, chilled
-Lime slices, if desired

Mix sugar and juices in large pitcher. Refrigerate until chilled. Just before serving, stir in sparkling water. Serve over ice. Garnish with lime slices (I just let the lime slices float in the pitcher).

Pepper Steak

Another one of my Mom's yummy recipes...

-2 pounds chuck roast, cut into thin strips
-1 can bean sprouts
-1 small can water chestnuts
-2 red peppers, cut into strips
-2 green peppers, cut into strips
-2 T soy sauce
-3 T oil
-3 T corn starch
-2 beef bouillon cubes
-Hot cooked rice

Brown meat in oil. Add 2 cups of water and bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about an hour or until meat it tender. Add peppers and water chestnuts. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add bean sprouts and cook another 2 minutes. Mix cornstarch, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup water in a bowl - add it to meat mixture and cook until thick. Serve over rice.

This one freezes well!
