Howdy gang! My kitchen has been quite busy the past two weeks. The poor hubs has had a lot of non-home-cooked meals on account of all the baking orders I’ve been filling. 😀 Alas, we can’t all be June Cleaver 24/7! Am I right? My goal is to cook most of our meals from scratch but that goal is not always achieved. I was finally able to whip up a special quiche for the hubs. He absolutely loves quiche. However, he refuses to use that word. He insists on calling it an “egg pie” . Men. Though, I guess technically he is correct, right? lol 😀 Whatever!
I call it a Garden Quiche because it has such a huge variety of garden veggies in it!
Anyhoo! Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
