Quiche Love

So yesterday I got the baking/cooking bug. I went to 2 stores and was determined to bake some items that have been on my mind. I got a lot of comments on the recipe for the Quiche on instagram. So I figured I would post it here. It was easy! I must make more ASAP. It would be a great for a Mother's Day Brunch! I got the Recipe from makedinnereasy.com & added and changed some things. Hope you Enjoy


Quiche


1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
3 eggs slightly beaten
~
1 cups of diced bell pepper
1/2 cup of diced turkey
dash of salt and black pepper
1 (9 inch) deep dish frozen unbaked pie crust shell ( I used a wheat pie crust)





Preheat oven to 350'F.
 In a medium bowl, toss cheddar cheese with flour.
 Add milk, eggs, pepper and veggies. 
place pie crust on a cookie sheet or pan for easy removal of oven. Pour mixture into pie shell. 
Bake at 350'F for 45-50 minutes, or until set.


* You can definitely add different vegetables and meat just make sure that they are diced the same size and that the meat you are adding is already cooked.

Running Carer

So lately I have been trying to work on my fitness. I'm trying to loose couple of Lb's. Nothing major just summer ready. One of my girls is having a party and I got this great dress that I'm TRYING to looking better in. So I have joined the MF running. Ok I have not run in a LONG long time. He takes me on a 2 mile run for my first run. I'm just getting my feet wet with this running thing so of course I died. I was walking like an old woman the next day. I have since then ran here and there & can now run 3 miles without stopping and am fine the next day. 

So yesterday was a gorgeous day. I went home did a quick wardrobe change and parked on the beach. I don't know how many  miles I was going to run I figured that I would run as far as I could for 25 mins & then head back. I look at my clock and  15 mins into it I was dying. Great!!! So I pushed on. Once I was warmed up I was good. I hit the duck pond and headed back to my car. It started to get cold as the sun was on its way down so I was determined to get to my car before it went all the way down. & I did! I ran for about 55mins. I still didn't know how many miles I had run. As I was driving home I got like brain freeze but hot! So Hot brain? Ahhhhh it hurt so bad but just for a bit I think it was all the blood rushing everywhere from running. Cooling off at home I mapped out my run and it was 2.4 miles. So double that 4.8 miles. I was shocked. As I was getting ready to eat dinner I started to hobbled. My ankle was killing me I couldn't put all my weight on it. I figured some stretching, Advil and some sleep I would be good to go in the AM. Nope I'm still hobbling around. Can it really be that my Running carer be over before I even started?! Sadness. 

Weekend wrap-up PT 2

Sunday

It couldn't have been a more perfect Sunday. Cloudy, Rainy, Great for snuggling & watch a move and stay in bed all day weather. I could do none of that! I was up early last minute shopping and gathering everything for the surprise bridal/ baby shower that I was apart of planning. 3 trip to my BFF's house of unloading. Everyone was on time to surprise her, Except her! She was lagging it and all of us where dying because it was soo hot. We had the windows closed because a room full of girls = crazy Load. She finally showed up and was shocked to see us all there. I think she was more exited to eat though because she after all is Preggers. Games where a blast! OMG!!!! & the Penis Ring toss was Insane. YES I said Penis ring toss! I opened the box and expected it to be like cardboard or something. oh no, it was not! It straight looked like the real thing. Suppperrrr Rated X for the Mother of the Bride. So we played it super quick. It was soooo much harder then we thought, there was bending over involved and the strap was chocking the girls. It was great! I think more so because I didn't have one of them on my head. It was a great Lil gathering & the Bride was very pleased. My weekend left me with Great memories.

Weekend wrap-up PT 1

I had another Jam packed weekend & let me just say I'm EXHAUSTED! Im making this a two parter just because well I am still Pooped.

My Saturday up at the crack of dawn 6 or may have been 7. That was just too early for me. Got dressed and we where off to my Man Friend's Mom's house for breakfast. I was super exited about being feed. I even told the man fiend the day before that I couldn't wait. (I'm such a fatty) after stuffing my face with food we where on our way to La for the Clipper game. After going around in circles a couple of times we parked and walked over to Staples. To my Man Friend luck they made him go back to his car to drop off his attached Flash. SUCKS! sorry MF. I was a bad GF and stayed inside looking for my seat. Game was great it was packed with fouls, bad calls, horrible free throws & some awesome dunks. Man Friend was very happy as "His Team" the Clippers won by like 20. Starving I was ready to stuff my face just about anywhere. We ended up in Korea Town. IT WAS AWESOME! It looked super cute there where sooooo many shops I was ready to blow some $. I quickly bought a scarf that I was looking at online for $10!!!! gotta love LA. MF's Cousin lives in LA and took us to some Karena BBQ. It was super yummy, cheep and I was beyond stuffed. I was sad to be soo stuffed because I wanted to go to some of the Bakery's I saw. We didn't get back home till about 8. I was beyond tired. I was ready to crawl into bed. but nooooo I couldn't. I blow off baking on Friday thinking I could do it Sat. ahhhhhhhh. I went to the store to grab some Ingredients and went home to bake. I was sooo tired that I didn't even care to take off my Booties heals. Yes I got skills like that & can bake in heals.  I finished & was in bed by like 11? not too bad but ahhhh I had to be up bright & early For Sundays Festivities. Hope you had a Great Monday

P.S ~ I'm alone all week at work in the office sadness!

Blood Orange Tart

I haven't baked in a long time so last Thursday I got the Itch, the Itch to bake.

I had some Blood Oranges and I recipe that I wanted to try out and I finally got all the ingredients to do so. Let me just say that me and pie crust have a love hate relationship. I love to eat it but its always a disaster making it. The baking started off ruff because I couldn't find all my gadgets to make this tart happen. Finally I pulled it together and about what felt like 8hrs my tart was done and ready to sit in the fridge over night. Bummer all that slaving away and had to wait till the next night to eat it. Well let me just say it was worth the wait and the 3 slices I had. The custard was soooo decadent! I fell in love. I learned a lot for the next time I make it. I am also trying to find out what else I can make with this custard because it was just so grand! Happy Tuesday everyone!

I would like to share that I am currently in bed and in a  Massive food coma due to my Delicious blood orange tart. Pictures of this tart will be up soon, once I am out of my coma
