This Leek and Apple Quiche with Bacon is a great mix of sweet and savory flavors. The apples and leeks give the traditional quiche a new taste, and the bacon makes it crispy and savory. It's great for brunch or dinner.

Ingredients: 1 pie crust. 6 slices of bacon, chopped. 2 leeks, sliced. 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced. 4 eggs. 1 cup milk. 1 cup shredded Gruyre cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 tsp nutmeg. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Place the pie crust in a tart pan and set aside. In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, saut the sliced leeks until they become tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded Gruyre cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spread the sauted leeks and sliced apples evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the leeks and apples. Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Slice and enjoy!

What a cool and crunchy salad! This Jicama and Turnip Slaw is great as a light and healthy side dish. Putting jicama and turnips together in slaw is a new way to make it, and the dressing of lime juice and honey makes the flavors go well together.

Ingredients: 1 medium jicama, peeled and julienned. 2 small turnips, peeled and julienned. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced. 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup lime juice. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon honey. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Put the julienned jicama, turnips, and thinly sliced red onion in a large bowl. Mix the honey, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl using a whisk. Add the dressing to the jicama and turnip mix and toss to cover everything. Add the chopped cilantro leaves to the slaw and mix them in slowly. Put the slaw in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you serve it so that the flavors can mix. Enjoy! Serve cold.
