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.
