Sausage, Onion and Goat Cheese Quiche; Fit or not?

Would you still be fit if you didn’t have to be? While you ponder that question, have a slice of quiche…. or 2 or 3. One of the nice things about using a rice, rather than a pastry crust, is one can eat more without guilt (or extra fat or calories). I just think of … Continue reading…
