My go-to savory breakfast egg casserole, made without bread and a small amount of cheese. Instead, its richness comes from the green chile flavor and protein-packed cottage cheese, creating a tender breakfast casserole that's all about flavor, protein and healthy eggs. Best of all, it's super flexible, it bakes up perfectly in a casserole dish, a cast iron skillet, muffin tins, ramekins and even in a tart pan. And did I mention? De-lish! Brunch, anyone?! Low Carb. High Protein (wow, 22 grams!). Weight Watchers Friendly. Perfect For a Relaxed Weekend Breakfast. Great for Meal Prep. Vegetarian.

Last-Minute Pantry Pie, the easy-easy no-bake cheesecake-style pie that's so simple to throw together at the last minute with pantry ingredients easily kept on hand for pie on a whim. Just five ingredients plus your favorite crust! So good, it moves the table to silence ... Fresh & Flexible. Summer Classic. Weeknight Easy, Weekend Special.

Think this, all at once, in a single bite: soft, warm, crisp, sweet, tart, fluffy and creamy. And now? Popping with plump, juicy raspberries too! ~ Skip Straight to the Recipe ~ Perfect for Princesses, Pixies and Parents As girls go, I was no girlie girl.
