Comfort Food For Balloon Festival Weekend

all-in-oven.jpgNothing marks the beginning of fall like Adirondack Balloon Festival weekend! This year it's bigger than ever as the festival celebrates it's 40th birthday. Catching the balloons as they lift off in the early morning involves getting up at the crack of dawn (literally), but it is totally worth it. 

The schedule for this weekend brought to mind some quick & easy dishes that can be done the day before and reheated quickly throughout the weekend. These will cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. Just add a tossed salad to round out the meal. 
We made quiche & chicken divan (recipe coming soon). I'm not a baker, so quiche that does not require me to make a crust is right up my alley.

Super Simple Quiche:
  • 1 cup of Bisquick
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • Salt & Pepper 
  • Precooked fillings of your choice (seasoned to taste) & shredded cheese

    Preheat oven to 400
    Whisk together eggs, milk & Bisquick
    Pour into a buttered pie dish

    quiche-close.jpgWe added cooked broccoli, bacon, mushrooms & shredded cheddar
    Bake until top is golden. 
    Test by inserting a knife in the center (if it comes out clean, it's cooked)
    Let quiche cool & set before cutting

    Note: The center may look a bit loose, but it will set. As long as the knife comes out clean, it's cooked. 

    Stay tuned for the recipe for the chicken divan!

Mary Longley Beside cooking being my middle name, most people call me Mary. My cooking experience started out of necessity, and with lots of successes and not so successful gourmet delights, I learned to be a little creative with some foods and found things that stay consistently on my list. Spending time in the kitchen is therapy for me and entertaining to share the successes. I look forward to sharing some of my creativity with everyone.
