Some weeks I feel like I have things all figured out. I'm keeping up with work, spending as much time as I can with Charlotte, cooking good food, keeping up with exercising, emails, the blog, the rest of my life....Other weeks I feel like throwing my hands in the air, lying down on the floor, and sleeping for a week. Last week was the latter type of week. Take a busy week at work, add in teething and a cold/allergies for Charlotte and some car trouble just for fun, and it starts to feel impossible to keep up with anything. So, more than a week after I made the quiche, I'm finally sitting down to post about it.
Every time I make quiche I wonder I don't make it more often. It's delicious, relatively quick (well, there's a lot of time, but almost all of it is just hands-off waiting time), and a great vehicle for any leftovers that might be hanging out in the refrigerator. This wasn't my favorite quiche--the custard is my favorite part, and this one had less custard in favor of more vegetables and some cheese on top--but we still enjoyed it. I don't normally serve such small portions of quiche, but we wanted a light dinner after a late afternoon birthday party, so here's the quiche with lots of salad and asparagus. The next day we had larger pieces for lunch. I love how well quiche reheats!
Your quiche turned out fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDear Jora, hope things are running smoother this week. How is baby Charlotte doing? Hopefully she is over her cold/allergies by now!
ReplyDeleteYor Market Quiche looks delightfully colorful and delicious - I love that you served such a nice big salad with the quiche - that certainly much have made a wonderful dinner!
Take good care of yourself and all the best!

You have a lovely quiche there!! Chill abit and don't be too hard on yourself!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand you Jora. I feel the same about some weeks...and I don't have a baby and a day job so please don't be so hard on yourself :) Enjoy life as it comes like this lovely quiche you made!
ReplyDeleteMy girls are almost 20 & 18 and I still feel like I have weeks like that :-) (But far less often, though) Those baby days were definitely some of the craziest/ overwhelming days that I remember. I remember wishing there was some kind of service that could come in and take over a part of my life for a few days so I could catch up on the rest...
ReplyDeleteGosh, I don't know how you blog at all with a wee one!!! Your quiche looks wonderful!!! xo
ReplyDeleteMy boys are grown and long gone plus I have no job and I still feel like crashing at times. In fact, I just go ahead and crash! I hope Charlotte is doing better this week. Your quiche looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSome weeks just need to be taken out and shot. Hope this one is better. lovely quiche.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quiche and I love that you served it with even more vegetables - it's probably the "healthiest" quiche I've come across. I hope things have settled down for you.
