Quick Quiche.

Today was a busy day. I left for Cedar Rapids at 7:30 am for a meeting and returned home at 6:30 pm. I had to pick up Katy at 7:30 pm from dance clinic and Andy was late leaving work, making our original plan of Chicken Cordon Blu impossible to deliver on. He also had to pick up swimmers at 7:15 am so I transformed our plan into a quick and savory French meal... Quiche!

A tidbit of history... although the French have caimed this to be of their cuisine, it actually originated in Germany, in the medieval kingdom of Lothringen, under German rule, which the French later renamed Lorraine.  The word 'quiche' is from the German 'kuchen', meaning cake.

I made two flavors. The first was a mix of ham and bacon, the second was spinach and green onions. And savory they were. The girls loved the ham and bacon Quiche, though keeping Katy out of the ratings. She doesn't like egg and cheese mixed with her ham...gees mom. So she had ham and pickles for dinner. I laugh because this is HER country and all she's waiting for is French Fries:)
