Bacon & Swiss Quiche

{Bacon & Swiss Quiche}

I first had this delightful quiche about 7 years ago at a bridal shower.

It was my hubby's Aunt Marty's recipe.  I've never had anything she had that wasn't yummy.

We have been enjoying it ever since.  We had a very fun (but busy) weekend.

We headed to the Great Wolf Lodge for a few days of R&R.  It was wonderful.

However, come Sunday evening I wanted a simple supper.  This hit the spot.

This is a perfect recipe for a Baby or Bridal shower....or just a nice quick meal.

Enjoy!  Blessings for a wonderful week!

I've mentioned before how much I love muffins.

The kids and I made these today.  They are moist and delicious!

I grind Soft White Winter Wheat Berries and then store the ground flour in the freezer.

You can use All-Purpose Flour. Some times I use half and half.

The weather around our parts is cooling way down. Nothing better than a hot cup of coffee and muffins.

and maybe some flannel sheets ;)

Hope you enjoy!

I love to bake!

One of my favorite things to make is muffins.

They are quick and easy and freeze really well.

I can bake up a few batches and then freeze them for a busy morning, or a lazy Saturday.

This is one of our families favorite.

I hope you will enjoy them as well.

Tasty Thursday

Buttermilk Pancakes

I think the heart of hospitality begins in the home.

Whether you are the mother of a house full of children, a wife with an empty nest, or precious grandma, us ladies set the mood and tone of our home.  I want hospitality to dwell within the walls of my home.

I think preparing a meal for family and friends, alike is such a way of blessing those around us.

Saturday mornings are pancakes and sausage in our home.  It is so wonderful to come together as a family after a busy week of school work, and activities. Every evening we gather for our family dinner, but Saturday mornings are extra special in my opinion. :)

This is my Buttermilk Pancake recipe...these pancakes get fluffy and golden.  They are light and taste great with REAL maple syrup!

Hope you enjoy!

Blessings
