Tricky Little Leprechaun


Disclaimer:  still in summary mode...

Perhaps it’s because I have a touch of Irish in my blood.   

Or maybe it’s just because I’m a mama trying desperately to get some veggies in her children.   

Whatever the reason, I decided to get a little tricky with dinner a few weeks ago.  I grated up a whole yellow squash and hide it inside a quiche.  To make things a bit trickier healthier, I made the quiche without a crust and substituted turkey bacon for the fatty variety.  Then in a final burst of trickery inspiration, I renamed the whole thing; crustless zucchini and bacon quiche became bacon pie.  So, what resulted from all this trickery?  An amazing thing.  There was an actual kiddie stampede to the dinner table.  Had I stuck with the name ‘quiche,' I can guarantee the kids would not have touched it.   

I think those tricky little leprechauns were on to something!
