A Recipe Worth Blogging About

The following recipe can be found in this book (Those Gooseberry people really know what they're doing). ;)

Here's me taking the lazy route - instead of typing it out, here is...the recipe.

The cast of characters aka the ingredients (I have found that I do love setting everything up beforehand and then just dumping the contents of the cute little bowls come direction time).

First step - melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat, add onions and cook until tender. Add flour and 1/2 cup of your milk, stir continuously until you reach a nice thickness resembling a consistency not unlike lumpy oatmeal.

(You can also preheat your oven to 425 @ this point)

I like to have a candle burning nearby when handling onions, I don't know if it's true but I've heard that it helps cut down on the severity of the "onion air" (the thing that makes you cry, which I did previous to lighting the candle this morning)

Beating together the eggs, remaining milk, salt and pepper...add cheese

...and herbs...you MUST use fresh...the smell alone is so worth it...


Mix in "lumpy oatmeal" aka the onion mixture


Meanwhile, roll out your prepared pie crust and flute your edges (I'm not a real great fluter).


Pour your quiche mixture into your pie plate.


Place into your preheated oven (yes, I took a picture of this too).


Cook for 15 minutes @ this heat and then decrease it to 350 for another 25-35 minutes.

You can do a toothpick test if you so wish to make sure it's ready (I never do).

Here is the final result (I decorated the top with a couple of chives - food should be pretty!).


I served this to my family this morning along side of some Pillsbury Reduced Fat Cinnamon Rolls


And a special smoothie for my husband and I

Frozen berries
Fresh strawberries
Lime juice
1 whole banana
And for a twist: a little bit of Coconut Pineapple ice cream

Now...who wouldn't want to wake-up to THAT?!

Here's to a light-filled happy morning with special treats and a fabulous family! Cheers!
