Friday Favorites

One. Last week was a rollercoaster of emotions and I didn’t feel well on Friday. On Saturday though, Eric surprised me with a trip for my birthday. It was possibly the sweetest thing he has ever done and the weekend was perfect! Incredible food, amazing weather, and just quality time away. 🙂 I posted a few more pictures, here.

Two.Once you start making my quiche, you won’t stop!

Hugs and Quiches

Pepper season is still in full force over here (and so is lack of time!) This is the perfect combo for any family on the go that which can also truly satisfy the desire for a hearty breakfast! It is great for get-togethers and dare I say, (cough) the holidays?! Enjoy lovies because you’ll be receiving a lot of hugs and kisses after you make this one for your family! xo


Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 kale leaves
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 Tbsp whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp EVOO
  • S and P to taste


What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Chop/dice the bell pepper. Pour EVOO into a skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Once it is heated, add pepper and cook until just slightly soft. In the meantime, tear the kale into small bite sized pieces and add to the skillet once the pepper is soft. Cook until slightly brown.

Grease a pie pan (I used butter) and evenly spread kale and red pepper onto the bottom. In a separate dish whisk eggs and continue whisking as you add the milk. Pour egg mixture over pepper and kale. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Friday Favorites

Oh my goodness, do I need a Friday! 🙂 Don’t we all? You know the drill, here are my favorites from this past week.

One.

Earlier this week I talked about how I love keeping our home cozy (here) and blankets (like the ones below!) are a big part of that!

Yesterday my heart kept growing heavier with a lot of news. I am just so thankful that God knows our tomorrow’s and that there is always something to be grateful for.

Four.It rained a lot this week, which was perfect for my Easy Tomato Soup. Pair it with some grilled cheese for your weekend or a weeknight next week! 🙂

Five.

My sister and I used to LOVE this movie and it’s always fun to rewatch this time of year. 🙂

I pray your Friday is a great one filled with movies, blankets, and a bowl of soup! xo
