Cooking Simply for Two
Quiche in Pepper Pots Tempt Tastebuds
Preparing a meal for ju st the
tw o o f you can be quick and easy,
especially if you keep eggs on
hand. V ersatile eggs are a high-
quality protein food portioned by
nature to suit small households.
Egg producers have made eggs
even more convenient by offer­
ing 6- and 8-count packs to retail­
ers. However many eggs you buy,
th ey 'll keep in the refrigerator,
with insignificant quality loss, for
at least three w eeks from the time
you bring them home.
With eggs in the fridge, it’s easy
to add a welcome change of pace to
your menus. Eggs can also help
you include more vegetables in
your diet, as the new Dietary Guide­
lines for Americans recommend.
Quiche in Pepper Pots is a good
example of an entree that combines
egg protein with the vitamins, min­
erals and fiber o f veggies.
These novel individual quiches
are easy on the cook, too. Simply
choose any colorful vegetable
blend you like to fill the peppers,
pour on an egg-and-milk custard
and bake.
For fast, nutritious eating other
times, you can use the remaining
eggs you have on hand in a variety
of ways. Toss slices or wedges of
hard-cooked eggs with greens and
other veggies for a main-dish salad;
poach eggs right in your favorite
soup; reheat leftover pasta and
veggies and pour on eggs to make
a skillet scramble.

Back-to-School Tip
Breakfast vital
for young minds
Back to school tim e is just
around the corner and its time to
think nutrition for young minds.
No m atter how chaotic school
m ornings becom e, the most im ­
portant meal of the day continues
to be breakfast.
Studies have shown that chil­
dren who eat breakfast perform
better and more efficiently on their
schoolw ork than those who do
not. Eating breakfast has also been
linked to improved concentration,
problem -solving ability, memory
and mood. Hungry children are
often distracted, easily irritated
and tired.
According to Margaret Bruya,
assistant dean for Academic Health
Services at W ashington State Uni­
versity. there is no “magic" break­
fast, but a meal balanced with pro­
tein, carbohydrates and fat is the
best way to start the day.
Breakfasts such as cereal, fruit
and milk or eggs, toast and orange
juice are quick, easy and acces­
sible. On-the-go items include yo­
gurt, cheese, toast with peanut
butter or cream cheese, muffins, cut
fruit and juice.
“ It's easy to set item s out the
night before for the kids to help
them selves— it's fun and gets
them up, going and involved,"
Bruya said.
