Clark's quiche is excellent served for breakfast with fruit, or at lunch or dinnertime with a salad. This recipe makes two 9-inch pies. The reason for this is because if you only make one you will hate yourself the next day when there are no leftovers. The quiche microwaves well the next day. In fact, most people say that the flavors have blended better on the second day... If in the strange case that you are filled up with one pie, this is a great gift to give a friend or relative, or if you are stingy...it freezes well with tin foil.

Kelly's Enchiladas
You can't taste the carrot in this enchilada recipe, but it's a good way to add bulk and vegetables--just use a cheese grater or food processor for them.
Classic Cauliflower au Gratin
Yummy, cheesy cauliflower. Very easy to make with a little kick.
The Best Bean and Ham Soup
Legume fans who enjoy 7-bean soup will love this extra beany version made with a dried 15-bean mix. I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham and serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends over or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.
