Another FUN salad =)

I'm making good on my word and making fun salads more often!  
Actually, this was the perfect accompaniment to a nice "meatless Monday" meal I conjured up for this week... broccoli and cheddar quiche!
It's one of my goals for this school year...
 1.  use my crockpot more often
2.  prepare more "freezable" make-ahead meals
3.  try to do a night or 2 a week of meatless meals


Anywho... the salad is a store-bought bagged mix of 1/2 baby spinach and 1/2 mixed greens, topped with 3 tomatoes from our garden, sliced pepperoni, a few slices of rolled up genoa salami, and some fresh mozzarella.

The quiche is 7 eggs, a crown of chopped, blanched broccoli, a nice handful (or 2) of shredded cheddar, salt, pepper, a dash of nutmeg, and a 1/2 cup of half and half whisked together... First, butter 2-3 Corningware 8-to-16 oz bakeware dishes (I used 2 16oz ones, and 1 8 oz one for Mags), and pour in the egg mix.  Bake at 350F for about 35-40 minutes.  Then serve with the salad and some nice crusty bread.
I love that there are 2 big ones for me and T and a little one for Magpies :)

The perfect trifecta of 
Deelish!  Easy! and  Cheap!
