Quiche Lorraine for Mother’s Day #SundaySupper
My mom is my inspiration for my cooking. She was always whipping us up tasty dinners and trying out new recipes. From her I learned the importance of eating a healthy, well balanced diet and always clipping coupons before heading to the store.
I never thought I was a fan of quiche, that was until I made Julia Child’s Quiche Lorraine. Mom made quiche growing up but it was never quite so buttery. She tries to keep things lower calorie, but I have learned with quiche you can’t try to cut calories. It’s just not the same. I did cheat on the crust with a premade and I still haven’t made Julia’s crust, but I have made a few other homemade crusts.
Since I first made Julia’s quiche back in November it has become a staple at our family brunches. For Mother’s Day I am made a big batch of blueberry muffins, instead of my now famous quiche.

Cheese Omelette
I have never been a big fan of omelettes (yes we are going with the European spelling because that’s what I prefer), but one night I went to bed dreaming of an omelette. When I woke up the next morning I just had to have one.
In the past I have always experienced, what I like to call, undercooked omelettes where the chef will only cook one side, add the ingredients and serve it. I flipped my omelette to cook both sides to combat this and for how simple the ingredients were. It was one of the best omelettes I’ve ever had.
I knew I had to dress it up somehow and that pico was just sitting there in a bowl begging to be used. A little Greek yogurt and pico on top and I was in omelette heaven.
Omelettes make great breakfasts, lunches, or dinners. When I find potatoes on sale I will roast a bunch up and flash freeze them, then store them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. When I want some homefries to go along with a breakfast dish I just take out however much I want and crisp them back up in the toaster oven. I know those Simply Potatoes premade bags are on sale a lot, but when fresh potatoes are on sale you can make your own for 1/4 of the price.

Spinach and Cheddar Quiche for St Patrick’s Day Brunch | #SundaySupper
In February I pinned a four leaf clover quiche knowing I just had to give it a shot for St. Patrick’s Day. After some initial trouble finding aluminum pot pie pans (found them at the Dollar Tree, by the way) I got to work shaping my lucky clovers. While I was working trying to make the clover I had a bad feeling about how they would turn out. My quiches are never pretty to look at, why did I think I could make a four leaf clover quiche. This was beyond my skill level. But never the less I attempted to shape the pans, press the dough into them, fill and bake. Well when they came out of the oven they clearly weren’t very clover like. I decided to scrap the whole four leaf clover and just go with a spinach and cheddar quiche. If you are feeling up to it maybe your four leaf clover skills are better than mine. You can find the original recipe and instructions at Diamonds for Dessert.
I was never really a quiche fan, until I made Julia Childs’ Quiche Lorraine, that was a turning point in my life. My mom didn’t make quiche often, but when she did they were usually on the lower calorie side, meaning she didn’t use a ton of butter. Once I discovered that butter truly make or breaks a quiche. I decided that quiche and I were going to be good friends. In the past I have always use store bought crust, thinking I was saving myself a good amount of time. This is the first time I have ever made a homemade crust and it was so easy, that I now can’t figure out why I haven’t been making homemade crusts all along.
This was a simple and easy to make quiche using ingredients that are quite common in most kitchens. The cheese can be substituted for your favorite cheese. I’m already planning to make it for Easter with possibly smoked gouda.

Breakfast Burritos
Every once in a while I like to switch it up and make breakfast for dinner. Breakfast is usually a cheap and easy meal, but also pretty nutritious. You can customize these burritos for different palates and leave out the peppers and onions for picky eaters. I like to “sneak” the peppers and onion in there for a little health boost. Mushrooms or chopped tomatoes would also make for a nice addition. Prefer sausage to bacon? That works perfectly too. But whatever you do don’t forget the dash of hot sauce.
These burritos are quick to make and surprisingly filling. You can fry up a quick batch of hash browns and serve with a side of delicious seasonal fruit.
I have seen it posted around, but have not tried yet. You can make extra burritos, wrap in wax paper or foil and freeze. You then have an easy breakfast that just needs a quick zap in the microwave.

Chili Relleno Casserole
We are big fans of easy, cheesy casseroles in this house and love anything with a kick. When I came across this chili relleno casserole I knew I had to give it a shot. The funny thing is I went out to a Mexican restaurant with a few girlfriends the day before making this. When picking out my entrée I was excited to order chili rellenos because I don’t often get them. It wasn’t until after my food was at the table I remembered I was making this casserole the next day. Hey, I’m not one to complain about a little spice two days in a row.
I guess looking at the ingredients should have been a tip, but I was reminded nothing of a chili relleno as I took my first bite. Not to say it wasn’t good, the casserole was still delicious, but don’t expect a chili relleno (at least any that I have had). The husband and I both agreed that this would be a great spicy brunch casserole. It was much more like an egg casserole with a kick. But breakfast, lunch, or dinner we always enjoy a good egg casserole. I suggest serving the casserole with tortilla chips or corn tortillas.
