Quick and Easy Hash Brown Quiche!
Welcome to Cibo!
I haven't been here in awhile, but lately I have been finding some great recipes and I promise to be here more often to share them with you.
First up this morning, a recipe for a quick and easy quiche. Normally, this would not be something I would prepare for my "manly" husband and finicky child, but the recipe beckoned me, a friend prompted me to try it and it is a definite hit on our family's table.

Okay - I made this recipe up because I have an overflow of really good marinara sauce in my freezer. My hubby loved this one!
4 skinless chicken breasts - salt and pepper on each side
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 - 1 1/2 cups of good marinara sauce - not spaghetti or pizza - MARINARA!
1 cup Cheddar Cheese - grated
Heat oil in skillet, brown chicken on both sides. Cover and place in a 375 degree oven for approximately 40-45 minutes until done. Take the chicken out and pour the marinara sauce over it, topping with the cheese. Place back into the oven and bake another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
I served it with black-eyed peas, a salad and rolls. It is yummy good!

Mexican Cube Steak
Don't know what to fix, tired of the same old thing. Well, here is a new creation from my kitchen. It uses cube steak, with a taco twist. Let's go to Mexico for supper tonight, Ole'!
Bev's Mexican Cube Steak
4 pieces of cube steak
1 Tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
1 packet of your favorite taco seasoning.
1 jar of salsa or make it yourself using 1 can of diced petite tomatoes and 1 small can of green chiles
Brown the steaks in the oil on both sides. Sprinkle half of the taco seasoning on the steaks. Place the steaks into a 350 degree oven, covered, for 45 minutes.
Sidenote:(Cooking cube steak of any kind, in the oven after browning, for up to an hour makes it really, really tender. You can also add a can of cream soup to it for gravy - but I wouldn't for this receipe!)
Put the steaks on the plate, using the salsa as topping.
Serve with green beans and potatoes, or mexican rice and corn!
Sure to be a hit!
TO MAKE YOUR OWN QUICK SALSA:
Mix together the canned tomatoes (with juice) and the drained chilles. Stir in 1/2 Tbsp. of the taco seasoning. Stores in the fridge for three days.
Leftover Lunch Bunch
Here's a quick tip for a great lunch. Tried and tested by a toddler
Ingredients:
Leftover meatloaf
Some grated cheese (about 1/2 cup, depending on how much meatloaf you have on hand)
Tortillas
Crumble the meatloaf into a sauce pan and add about 1 TBSP of water. Heat until sizzling. Mix in half of the cheese. Stir together and place in a warmed tortilla. Serve. It is a great way to use up last night's meatloaf and a quick lunch. My three-year old gobbled it up!

WELCOME TO CIBO!
Welcome to CIBO!
I love food, I love to cook, I love to try new recipes and create new recipes. Cooking is a passion for me. Because I love it all so much, it is odd to me that others do not. But I have a few close friends who would rather go broke buying take-out than cook a meal. It is for them that I write this blog. Yes, it will be a place to share great recipes and cooking adventures, not to mention tips for getting a toddler to eat and how to get a cake out of pan, but I want my friends to have a place to turn to when it is time to prepare a meal. A safe, happy, fun cooking site that (hopefully) will spark enthusaium in their cooking. I'm no Rachel Ray or Paula Deen, but I have been known to turn out a mean feast on occassion and I deeply enjoy watching others become excited about cooking.
So, please come back and visit often, invite your friends to do the same. My comment board is open, so please give me feedback if you try a recipe and it does or doesn't work for you. If you have a suggestion, please post it in the comments as well. I look forward to hearing from you. And always remember; "There is no love more sincere than the love of food."
And just in case you are wondering about the name of the blog - CIBO is the Italian word for FOOD. I love all things Italian - so it just seemed to fit.
