Some people call me stinky, some call me cheesy, my inspiration: combine both for a deadly combination of flavour: le quiche! This is a healthy version with cottage cheese representing the cheese and egg whites taking the place of eggs. This is a quick easy recipe that is transportable and lasts several days. Say goodbye egg mcmuffin and hello to Chef Buff’s quiche supreme! Warning: you might become addicted.

Half spanish onion
Five medium mushrooms
Two Cups of broccoli
7.5 Ounce of 1% Cottage Cheese
225 ml of Egg whites
3 Eggs
Top with Cheddar
Salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic

Today we visit the Mediterranean to go to my Greek brethren for culinary inspiration. The theme today is volumetrics; using high volume low calorie food to leave us feeling satiated. The result? A jumbo greek salad. Simple, elegant, and most of all tasty- this salad will leave you saying all kinds of weird jargon in Greek. TIKANIS!
Ingredients
150 gram Chicken Breast
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
30 gram crumbled Goat’s Feta
Ionized sea salt
¼ Spanish Onion
¼ Red Bell pepper
Crap Load of Spinach
Black Pepper
Approximate calories: 380 (This is a Chef Buff sized portion, adjust accordingly). Watch the onion breathe don’t blame me if you make a couple of these a day- it makes a great lunch OR breakfast!
