Super Easy Quiche

I am working on a binder right now for easy meal planning and preparing (I am always scrambling through the house looking for my recipes which are so unorganized and tucked away in a few different places. Such a waste of time!) The binder will be divided into 5 categories, i.e. crock pot meals, pasta meals, rice meals, etc. I'm not sure what the categories will be yet. But then I will save two days a week for leftovers/eating out/impromptu meals.

I hope this will help me plan grocery trips faster and not waste time looking for my recipes. Eventually I think I'll have 6 recipes in each category so that I can go 6 weeks before repeating a meal. Do any of you have a similar (or better) system? I'm open to suggestions!

I thought that as I type up my recipes I'll share them with you. Last night, we had a quiche with a green salad. My goal is also to make affordable meals... eggs are cheap protein (; I usually just throw in whatever we have in the fridge. Yesterday, I had some sausage, mushrooms and spinach. I also like to make a homemade crust because it's so cheap and easy. But for convenience sake with a 4 month old we used a store bought refrigerated dough which worked great. Well, enjoy! Hope you try it!
