  1. Huge fan of quiche. I'll have to try it. Kellie, I realize that there are some recipes that are terribly flexible, but I have a request. We make rice and beans every Monday night. We saute garlic/onion, dump cooked rice into sauted garlic/onion, add black beans/salt/pepper. Would you mind sharing your improvisations with a meal like this? Would love to fix it a little differently next time.
