From my kitchen to your palate
Summertime is here and that means light, bright, and colorful dishes. We had friends this weekend and I kept things simple, which meant BBQ and pre-prepped dishes so I could spend quality time with them. Burgers and Brats (will all the fixings) were on the …
I love quiches! With Mother’s Day last weekend I decided to make a traditional bacon and cheese quiche. I took a shortcut and bought premade pie dough from Trader Joe’s, since this was only one of the many dishes I was preparing. The night before …
