原文食譜在此

Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 package spinach
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Cheddar

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, Parmesan, flour, salt, and pepper, in a medium bowl. Stir together, or blend in food processor until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
3. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the spinach (依個人喜好加蔬菜,甚麼都可以)
4. Add the Cheddar and blend with a spoon until well mixed.
5. Pour the spinach mixture into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
6. Bake until set, about 45 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven. It will be puffed up, but will fall slightly as it cools. Allow it to cool, then, refrigerate. Cut it into squares and serve.

Stay Positive


很棒的演講:
TED Talk - Key to Success

在這又快要開始寫新年新希望的時節,給心很大的力量。
想起我那些可愛的高中同學們。
人各有志,但是我們的共同點是,都不想那麼早放棄。
我們真的沒有比較聰明,甚至還傻一些。
傻的去比別人多堅持了一點。


"Grit is sticking with your future. Day in, day out.  
Not just for a week, a month, but for years...and work really hard to make that future a reality.
Grit is living life like it's a marathon not a sprint."



Day in, day out... 這四個字,說的簡單,日子過起來難。
所謂難,並不是愁眉不展怨天載地。
而是怎麼對抗那些不同的聲音,
怎麼打敗心裡的惡魔,
怎麼用相信與堅持去撐過最暗的黑夜。

Stay positive. Magic does exist, you just need to believe it.
