Hi Everyone!

Here is a great recipe I used over and over! I get a lot of compliments with this one!

Sour Cream Chicken Quiche

1 (9 inch) pie crust (you can used a purchased crust, thawed, if you like)
1T Olive oil
1/4 c chopped onion
1/4 c chopped green pepper
1 T flour, all-purpose
1 c. cooked, chopped/cubed boneless chicken breast
1/4 t salt
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/4 t. ground black pepper
1/2 c. shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 c. shredded Swiss Cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
1- 8 ounce container sour cream

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Prepare your homemade 8-inch pie crust or thaw your store bought frozen crust so that it is ready to fill. Do not cook!

2. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and saute your onions and bell peppers until soft -- stir frequently. You should do this for approximately 3 minutes. Do not let it burn! Add your flour, and stir again for approximately 2 minutes. Add, your chicken, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Mix well. Remove from stove.

3. Spread chicken mixture over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust and top with the two cheeses. In a small bowl , mix together your beaten eggs, milk and sour cream. Pour mixture over the chicken mixture in pie crust.

4. Bake your quiche at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Then, reduce your temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 30-35 minutes. Basically, until done. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done!

Enjoy this with a nice hot roll and tossed salad! You will love it!

(Article) Unique Business Niche - Debt Management Services

2008-05-10T04:03:00.000-07:00

Debt problems are a hot topic today! Rising gas prices at the pump! Home foreclosures on the rise!

Debt management services are popping up on the internet everyday. If you are wanting to start your own business, you may ask yourself if it would be wise to invest your time, money and energy into this field and be successful? Consumers are seeking creative ways to manage their debts and often turn to these companies for assistance 365 days a year. So, the potential here looks very good!

To learn more about this industry, an excellent option is to seek gainful employment at a reputable company to obtain the skills/education needed. Your goal is to become a successful independent "coach" in debt free living. Check these companies out carefully as some are operating on a "for profit only" basis rather than actually helping the consumer.

You can find out more about debt management services as a business opportunity by listening to a "live" talk radio show on May 14, 2008 at 11 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on www.blogtalkradio.com/wbo-radio. You can join us by phone, (347) 205-9229 or in the chatroom.

2008-05-09T02:34:00.000-07:00

Join us on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 11 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on www.blogtalkradio.com/wbo-radio. You can join us either by dialing the phone -in number, (347) 205-9229 or in the chatroom.

She is inspired by higher as well as inner guidance, greets the angels, and helps others manifest their dreams through her trademark meditative and practical techniques. Her dream and vision is her spiritual healing and teaching center, The Lilac Center for Healing and Enlightenment in CA. which has been opened since 2004.

Sharman Lawson is living proof that you can live debt-free. Sharman and her husband paid off all their debt including their mortgage in less than five years, on a combined income of less than $50,000 a year. That is when she started conducting seminars and educating others on how to manage their money and live debt free. Her testimony is inspiring. She lets you know that it's not your education, title, position or the amount of money you make that is important. It's stepping out on faith, trusting God, believing the impossible is possible, and knowing that going after your purpose, passion and dream is better than all the things you sacrificed.
