Gluten Free Quiche, Brownies and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

First let me say that no one in my family is starving or even the least bit underweight. Our bmi's are all normal or in the shameful overweight numbers.  My family is not going hungry because they eat gluten free a lot of the time. That being said, my daughter, at first, refused to try the quiche this evening because it has greek yogurt in it.  I used Namaste gluten free Biscuits, Piecrust and More mix.  Which cost about nine dollars for 48 ounces.  The piecrust was easy to make with olive oil and water.  I patted it into the pie plate till it was pretty thin. 
The quiche ingredients are as follows.

7 large eggs
3 cups of mozzarella cheese
2/3 cup of plain greek yogurt
1 package real bacon bits
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion bits
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

Mix it all together and pour into the pie plate with the gluten free crust in it.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or so. Voila! Quiche!

I thought it was really good. The crust was a little crumbly but not too noticeable. My 19 year old son ate seconds.  And (wait for it!) my fourteen year old daughter finally tried a little bit and.......will wonders never cease!!!!!  She liked it!

The brownies were as big a hit.  I used a recipe on the back of Hodgson Mill's Gluten Free Baking Mix.  I ended up using a 1/4 cup more sugar and cocoa with olive oil instead of unsweetened chocolate (didn't have any on hand).

They were yummy!


Some of you may think I am wasting money and effort trying to find food and recipes that both I and my gluten eating family can share.  There are a couple of reasons why I do it.  For the most part it's cheaper if I find as many products that we can all eat.  And it's easier on me if I just have to fix one meal for the family.  Besides being a Celiac I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  Not sure why God chose to bless me with both issues but I'm learning to deal with my health challenges as best as I can. 
Being able to cook for myself and my family at the same time with as little extra work as possible can make a big difference in whether I am in bed at eight o'clock in the evening or enjoying time with my family.  And, most of the time, I'd like to be with my family.

So I keep on looking for easy and not too expensive gluten free options that we can all enjoy.

Till next time have a wonderful gluten free day and God Bless!
