Everything Quiche

Keto quiche, known in my house as Everything Quiche because it literally depends on what you have in your fridge, then you just put everything in. This is a super easy to make and easy to tweak recipe. I usually make these in single portions for lunches, and then accidental_keto_husband eats them before I get a chance. You could also put this in a larger pie dish (to eat immediately or freeze) and I'm 100% sure these would even work in muffin sizes. There are so many possibilities for this recipe. If you do it in a way I haven't thought of, new way to serve it or adding another ingredient that is amazing, please let me know in the comments! 

There are a few dishes that I consider keto staples and I will be doing a "keto basics" series with recipes and techniques for these. This is the first one in that series. 

Parmesan and Pecan Crusted Aubergine

Aubergine, brinjals, egg plant, whatever you want to call them, are pretty versatile keto foods. I hated aubergine until I started keto... could not eat it at all - texture issues. When I started doing keto, a friend taught me how to make them properly, so I tried them again and now they are a semi-staple in my house. 

Keto Ginger Biscuits

There are things you don't realise you miss until you suddenly can't have them anymore, even things you never even liked all that much to begin with (like donuts, my kingdom for a donut). Cookies, here in South Africa we call them biscuits as well, was one of these. A friend requested that I make ginger biscuits and since I am currently obsessed with ginger flavoured everything - why not? So this recipe was created, and it's definitely gone down as one of my favourites. 

My Story

Hi! So after finally starting my food blog I guess I should start by introducing myself. My name is Elizabeth (or Lisa, or Liz, or Littlebit, or Pix - I have too many nicknames and no idea how this happened). I am a type 2 diabetic, I also have hypothyroidism, PCOS, anemia and on the 9th of March 2016 I had a BMI of 40. For the last ten years of my life I had been slowly, passively, killing myself by pretending that everything was ok. My husband and I had decided that maybe the next step was kids and so, as one does, I went off the pill. As it turns out the birth control pill was the only thing holding my body together like a tiny piece of dental floss keeping the house from falling down. And the minute I went off it, all hell broke loose.
