Day 212

5 more sleeps!!!!

I told Sam that we had 5 sleeps till Bali. He said "will there be beds there.. can I bring my own bed?". He wakes up every morning now and puts on his bathers, shorts, t-shirt and thongs and says he is ready to go.... oh my sweet boy... Not long now!

Quinoa-Spinach Bake

What you need:

1 bunch English Spinach, stems cut off and leaves washed

1 onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon thyme leaves (can use dried herbs if you don't have fresh)

1 teaspoon rosemary leaves

1 cup low fat cottage cheese

1 cup fetta

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

2 eggs

2 cups of cooked Quinoa (about 1 cup of uncooked quinoa), made according to package instructions.

How to do it!

1. Pre-heat oven to 180, grease a casserole dish and coat with breadcrumbs.

2. Add spinach to boiling water, and leave in for about 10 seconds.... Remove and run under cold water. When cooled, squeeze out water and finely chop. Set aside. 

3. Heat olive oil in frypan, and cook onion, garlic and herbs until onion is soft. Remove and transfer to big bowl. 

4. Add eggs, cottage cheese, fetta, pepper & quinoa to onion mix.. stir well until combined.

5. Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish and then into the oven and bake until set, and edges are brown.... takes around 60 minutes. 

I served this bake with steamed vegies... so to add some zing to the meal, we put a bit of this Eggplant Pickle on the side... this stuff - YUM! It's got bite, but certainly makes any dish that bit more exciting!

Happy Monday! xxx
