Spinach Quiche

My friend, Mrs. B, fixed this delicious spinach quiche for a playdate brunch a few weeks back. It was fabulous. I begged her for the recipe and now I'm sharing it with you lucky folks. The recipe is super easy and is made with pantry items that we all have, so now you have to make it!

She calls it "Mom's Spinach Quiche."

Mom's Spinach Quiche

8 oz can crescent rolls

4 oz shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 c. flour

1 1/2 c. half and half

10 oz. package of frozen, chopped spinach (drained)

3 eggs (beaten)

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll crescent rolls into 2 long rectangles. Place in ungreased 13x9 pan; press over bottom and half way up the sides to form crust.

In medium bowl, combine cheddar, Parmesan and flour. Add half & half, spinach, eggs, and spices. Mix well. Pour into crust.
Bake at 350 for 45-50 mins.

It is truly so delicious! You won't be able to eat just one slice. I'm pretty sure I ate at least 3. SHHHHHHHHHHH don't tell!

Kelly's Running Warehouse

Running Season is upon us. I must confess that I love this time of year. Going to the park, lacing up my shoes, and taking a jog in the late evening.

O.k., so my sister that loves to run marathons let me in on this website. It's a must for runners. A fabulous little site that sells running gear at a MUCH lower price than the MSRP in retail stores.


Let me tell you that the BEST, and I repeat, BEST running brand of shoes is Mizuno. Honestly, I've never had a blister or shin-splint while wearing them; and they are soooooo super light.

He's getting so big!

I canNOT believe how much our Little Z has changed in just 12 weeks!

Just 1 week old here...................and 11 weeks here!

I honestly canNOT believe it!

We are in LOVE with this guy!

My Bucket List

I'm a list maker. Always have been and probably always will be. When I have so much to do, I jot it down & cross it off. Guess it makes me less overwhelmed....or actually, when the list is pretty generic, it makes me feel like I've accomplished more in the day than I have. Like when the list is 1) get out of bed, 2) eat breakfast, 3) take a shower 4) etc...... But hey, don't we ALL have those lists?

I've actually been thinking about what would be on my list if I knew exactly when my life were going to end. What would I do? Where would I go? How would I spend my time & with whom?

I'd like for my list to be at least 100 lines long. I'm not gonna list them all today, but I am going to start; and I'll keep adding to from time to time. Hopefully, I'll be crossing some off too!

1. Speak Spanish fluently
2. Play the guitar
3. Buy a new camera
4. Work on my photography
5. Visit every continent
6. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
7. Live in another country (for a short while)
8. Do mission or relief work in that country
9. Run a Marathon....not just half
10. Take more random road trips
11. Start a non-profit or for-profit (that functions as a social entreprenuership with an NPO/NGO)
12. Have another child.....eeekkk!! Can't believe I said that already at this point :)
13. Adopt a child
14. Have Thai at this delicious place at Delmar & 170
15. Explore St. Louis more this summer

This is the beginning of my list. WHAT'S YOURS?

A Thing of Beauty

I love beautiful things - aesthetically beautiful things. Not necessarily frilly or fru-fru. Just beautiful things. And I love nature. I was thinking about this sunrise that I witnessed just a few weeks ago as I was heading to pick up a friend on our way to Chicago. Swirls of the most brilliant hues of purples, oranges, and pinks that I had ever seen were rising above the city. When Mrs. B hopped in the car, she immediately commented on the beauty of the sky that morning. Last night I opened my Bible to read in the Psalms, and the first verse was this:

"The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display
his marvelous craftsmanship."

~Psalm 19:1

I think sometimes people feel shallow for only appreciating something for its beauty, but our God is an amazing artist. Just look at what he has created and you can't deny that he loves art. I mean, we do call him the potter for more reasons than just one. And why else would God give so many individuals artistic abilities? So go ahead, look around, and appreciate those things your find beautiful!
