On Saturday a friend came over for lunch and to gossip/share our mutual concern about another friend. I made quiche and served it with flat bread and finished lunch off with gourmet hot chocolates and cookies.
We have a mutual friend we are very concerned about. She seems to be unravelling and her husband has pretty much checked out (we suspect it could be even worse than that) and she just doesn't seem to be able to or want to pull herself together. We really want to help her but cant figure out how to without letting her know we know more than we probably should - In fact, maybe more than our friend even knows herself. How does one let a friend know you know their husband is never home and doesn't sleep with her without letting her know you know that? Such a quandary!
The quiche was really yummy! Here is the recipe:
Suburban Princess's Yummy Lunch Quiche
1 pint of grape tomatoes
1 head of broccoli
1.5 cups of shredded cheese
12 eggs
Salt and pepper
You can use a pie crust if you want to but this works well with or without it.
If you don't use a pie shell you should spray your pan with Pam.
Cut the tomatoes in half and put them in the pan.
Chop up the broccoli and put it on top of the tomatoes.
Spread the cheese on top of the broccoli.
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper and pour over the cheese and veggies in the pan.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and then turn up the oven to 400 for another 20 minutes.
Let it sit for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
This freezes well so you can enjoy it next week too without any effort!
Bon Appetit!
The Suburban Prince's Bento Lunch
I have been inspired by the wonderful lunches I have been seeing a lot of lately on the mommy blogs. They are based on the Bento style of packing lunch and are adorable! Who wouldn't love to open their lunch box and see this?! The Suburban Prince works very hard so I felt he deserved a change from the ordinary, run of the mill lunches I have been making all summer.I gathered (code for I went on a shopping expedition) some supplies and got to work! The photo above is one of the lunches I made for the Suburban Prince this weekend. The container with the blue lid holds hummus and grape tomatoes, on the side is cauliflower under the broccoli (see how Bentos are a great way to use leftovers?), cookies, almonds, crackers and chocolates. On top of the small container is frozen grapes. There was a thermos of meatballs to go with this lunch. Very healthy and nice to look at! What it lacks in cuteness it makes up in nutrition and fun! There are all kinds of accessories to 'cuten' up Bento lunches - dividers, containers, picks etc etc etc! I need to plan a trip to the Asian mall to see what I can find.
Have a fabulous day!
