i was going to enter this recipe but wanted to make sure it wasn't a double post...well sure enough here it is...and i have the cookbook too. a non-stick pan is really helpful and i usually add more bacon. tastes like a cheesy, crustless quiche. i add more salt but i'm a salt-a-holic so add to your taste.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
