This chicken quiche recipe works very well. Add seasonings of your family's choice for more variety. Use ham, bacon, or whatever protein. This quiche needs flavor boosters, so use your spice cabinet. Easily make this a Tex-Mex dish with diced green chiles and a touch of cumin. You could also add crumbled, freshly cooked bacon for more flavor. I served this with sliced avocado and tomatoes for a perfect light dinner.

Eggplant Burgers
These eggplant burgers are supreme veggie burgers, the easiest and most economical burgers of all. A single medium-sized eggplant (together with the usual trimmings) feeds a family of six. Use whatever cheese and burger toppings suit your family's tastes.
Cowboy Queso
This cowboy queso is a cheesy, meaty, stick-to-your-ribs queso. Feel free to use chicken broth or beef broth instead of beer. I grew up with sliced black olives in many dishes so they work for me, but omit them if they're not your thing. I like to serve this in individual cast iron skillets for the full "cowboy" experience but any serving dish will work.
Meatloaf Grilled Cheese Sandwich
This grilled cheese and meatloaf sandwich has crisped cheese on the outside and warm melted cheese on the inside. Perfect with sliced pickles and extra ketchup for dipping.
