I decided to try a quiche over the weekend.  I love Quiche Lorraine and I’ve never made it, so I thought I’d give it a try.  It was very yummy and I actually eat it for dinner with a salad.  My Texas bestie (hi Robin) & I used to go to Mimi’s and get their Quiche & salad, theirs is very good as well and this reminds me of it.  Very simple especially when you cook your bacon in the oven!!!

Quiche Lorraine:
- 1 9" deep dish pie crust (I used Marie Calendar's frozen)
- 1 bunch green onions (or one sauteed onion)
- 8 slices cooked & crumbled bacon (I used thick cut)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
- 3 eggs slightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups half & half
- 1/4 teas salt & 1/4 teas pepper
- 1/8 teas nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Take frozen pie crust out to thaw.  Cook bacon in oven as directed on package (yes it says right on the package) chop or crumble when done.  I chopped up the green onions & used all the stems and about 3/4 of the whites. In bowl mix, eggs with half & half.  Add salt, pepper & nutmeg, set aside.  Once crust is thawed, add bacon, onions & cheese (I mixed them up a bit).  The crust is pretty full but it will all fit.  Slowly pour the egg mixture over top.  Bake 40-50 minutes until crust is lightly browned and the middle doesn’t jiggle.  Let stand 5 minutes & enjoy!

It’s snowing AGAIN!!! So I thought I’d re-post my chili recipe! Perfect cold weather comfort food!

Ok, I love these banners! Super simple.  I’ve tried to go step-by-step which may seem like a long process but seriously it’s really easy!

All you need is: 5 Fabric Quarters (Joanne's) = 25 flags 7x9
2 Packages Extra Wide Double-Fold Bias Tape(2 banners)
Thread

Here we go . . .

– open up your all your squares & press them in half lengthwise

– then cut them all in half, lengthwise

– line up your fabric on a cutting mat

– place your ruler or cutting guide at 7″ on the top and then 3 1/2″ at the point (your point is 1/2 the distance as your top measurement)

– cut your left side – then move ruler/cutting guide to the right and make your right cut

– continue to make cuts with a 7″ top & 3 1/2″ bottom – you’ll get 5 flags from each pattern

– stitch along the lengths of your flags (not the tops)

– I decided to continue stitching flags together & snipping them apart later (saves from stopping after every flag)

– leaving approx. 12″ at both ends of your bias tape, place flags inside the bias tape & pin

– for the wedding flags I decided to space them apart 6″ (cause the tent is 40′ wide) but you can place them corner to corner

– sew the entire length of the bias tape

– you’ll end up with 12 flags per banner tape if you place them corner to corner OR 7 flags per banner if you place them 6″ apart

Hopefully this all makes sense . . . if not, here is the original link which is super helpful too! http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/fabric-pendant-banner-tutorial/

And remember it’s JUST a party banner!! Don’t make yourself crazy if your cuts aren’t perfect or your stitching is straight, (that was MY mantra, lol)
