What are you doing tonight?  It’s week Four the NFL lineup is waiting for you to pick. I am gonna tailgate in the kitchen.  Have you made your picks, who do you think is going to win?  HERE ARE MY PICKS: Thursday: Bengals, Sunday:  Colts, Redskins, Patriots, Cardinals, Steelers, Jets, Broncos, Cowboys, Texans, Ravens, Saints, Lions Monday: Vikings

Fall and football says quiche.  In celebration of Thursday Nite Football, I am making a crustless quiche.

SMOKED SALMON FOOTBALL QUICHE

18 crumbled butter crackers, 2 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese,  1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper,  1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup finely chopped asparagus, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 8 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups chopped smoked salmon,  3 tablespoons sour cream, 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion tops, 3 tablespoons drained capers, 1 1/2 tablespoon cayenne.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Crumble crackers into a bowl, add cheeses, salt, pepper and nutmeg, mix well and set aside. In a bowl beat eggs well, set aside. Chop asparagus and carrots into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of chicken broth, put in the microwave for 3 minutes on high.  Remove from microwave and set aside. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.  Reserve 1/2 cup of the salmon, set aside.  You are going to evenly divide the ingredients into 12-muffin tins.  Spoon the asparagus into the muffin tin, top with the cracker and cheese mixture, pour in the eggs. Bake for 20 minutes.   Remove from oven set aside; cool then turn out of the pan. Evenly top each muffin with the reserved salmon, green onions, capers, sour cream, and cayenne.

A perfect Thursday night dinner would be: Smoked Salmon Football Quiche, Tossed Green Spring Salad, Sweet Tea, and Coconut Cream Pie.  What are you going to have for dinner?

The first three weeks had me in turmoil. Hopefully, I’m back on track this week; I’m looking for 13 wins!
