Turkey Bacon Quiche

Eating For Life-By Bill Phillips is the book that we recommend to our clients who have an interest in reorganizing their nutrition. Living in South Texas, tortillas can be a big part of our diet and a diet culprit if we are not careful.

This recipe is so easy to make in pie dish, makes four servings and even if the rest of my family won’t eat any, I have plenty to take with me to work and reheat. Sometimes I have it for breakfast and it also makes a wonderful lunch or dinner with a small side of fruit and a salad.
