Brunch Quiche (Frittata?)
This is a great brunch quiche. Well, it's like a quiche... or maybe it's a frittata. I kinda made it up, but I promise it's yummy! I am going to list the ingredients for a one person serving, and leave the multiplying up to you for how ever many servings you need.
2 small Red Potatoes, skin on, cubed
3 slices of Bacon
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 egg
2 tbsp. Milk or cream
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp. Parsley, fresh
1 tsp. Chives, fresh
salt, pepper
butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Boil potatoes in a pot until just before tender.
While potatoes are boiling, fry up the bacon slices in a pan. Remove bacon when crisp, set aside.
Add strained potatoes and onion to bacon fat in pan to brown them. Salt and pepper to taste.
Butter a small baking dish (a souffle crock is perfect).
Place browned potatoes/onions in crock.
Crumble 2 pieces of the bacon on top of the potato/onion.
In a small bowl beat egg and milk together.
Pour egg mixture over ingredients in crock.
Sprinkle parsley and cheese on top.
Bake in oven for 15-20 min.
Let cool 10 min before serving.
Top with chives and the last piece of bacon, crumbled.
Also tastes fantastic with a little hot sauce. If you really want this to kick: add dried red pepper flakes with the salt and pepper.

The best Mac and Cheese in the world!
I've been dying to make this all week, but I had run out of shredded cheddar cheese. Now that the cheese supply is renewed, tonight is THE best Mac and Cheese you will ever have. Creamy, velvety, melt in your mouth, and easy as all get out to make. I got this recipe from my best friends boss back when I lived in Vegas. In the course of my multiple moves I thought I had lost this recipe forever, never to be enjoyed again.... So you can imagine how happy I was to have found it stuck in the back of my Better Homes and Garden Cook Book (you know the one -the red plaid bible of cooking)! The anticipation is mounting to make and eat this, but it's way to early in the day to do so -seeing as start to finish it takes 35 min to make and bake. Thus I will spend my time now to share this recipe with y'all - I hope Casey doesn't mind!
1/2 cup Mayo
1 can Cream of Chicken soup [or Mushroom]
8oz Elbow Macaroni
8oz shredded Cheddar Cheese
Ritz Crackers -Honey Butter flavour if you can find them
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Cook macaroni, drain
Combine Mayo, Cheese, and Soup in a large bowl
Add macaroni to cheese mixture, stirring until thoroughly integrated
Pour into a 9" X 14" pan
Taking the crackers, crumble them in your hands to evenly cover the top of the casserole
Place in oven for 25 min.
