Quiche Lorraine
Today is my very first blog, yippee! I’d like to thank Cortni McConnell for doing such a great job on the art work. I would also like to thank Jeffrey Benson from Super Cru for setting up this site. This has been a plan in the making for quite sometime. As I mentioned in the About Me Section, I am a recently empty nest Mom. I worked up until my second marriage, and that is a whole other story for a later post. I have been a sales clerk for men and ladies clothing, worked in a pro shop, worked in cosmetics, I was a bank teller, and a Flight Attendant for Eastern Airlines. I didn’t work while raising Morgan and P.J., if you consider that not working. Our oldest son Morgan left for NYC in 2009. P.J. our youngest son, left for NYC Jan 2012. Which has now brought me to this point in my life with now what do I do? My husband Pete, family, and friends have always enjoyed my cooking and entertaining. Pete and I have hosted many a dinner party with rave reviews. So now I will share my passion with you, I am not the best writer, nor do I have the best grammar, I’m pretty much computer illiterate, but I can promise you this I will always post straight from my heart and give you fabulous recipes. So please feel free to leave comments, and I will take any suggestions you might have for me.
Quiche Lorraine
Ingredients:
1 Pillsbury pie crust or homemade
1 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
1 16 oz shredded swiss cheese
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Lay the pie crust in a pie plate and flute the edges. Next add cooked crumbled bacon, then layer with all the shredded swiss cheese.
In a mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, half and half, and salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Pour over the bacon and swiss cheese mixture. Put the pie plate on a cookie sheet and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until puffed up in the middle, and nicely browned on top. Let sit for 12 minutes and serve.

Love your blog and your passion for cooking. As you know we will be empty nesters in September. It will certainly change the grocery shopping and cooking. Looking forward to seeing more of your favorite recipes!
Stacey
Hi Laura,
Thanks for the nice comments. I know you guys will be empty nesters soon, if you need a shoulder or any advice I would be glad to help. It really is an adjustment. Pete and I are actually enjoying it now though, so it takes a little time. It will be a new chapter in your lives!

Looks great, Stacey! I’ve never made a quiche before, much less a Quiche Lorraine. Yours looks lovely and the photos are beautiful. I can’t wait to see more!
Stacey
Hi Sydney, thanks for all your advice over the last months, I couldn't have done it without you!

I showed your website to a lot of gals at the open house today and they thought it was great and loved the name because a lot of them also are going to be empty nesters.
Stacey
Hi Satsie, thanks for all the support and passing the info along!

Hi Stacey,
It sounds like our BHS class will all be empty nesters soon if not already. I’m eager to try out some of your recipes. Didn’t realize you loved to cook.
Stacey
Hi Susan, thanks for checking out my blog. It truly is a passion for me and something to occupy my time. I can't believe we are all getting older, seems just like yesterday that we were at BHS! I wonder if we will have a 40th class reunion? I hope to get back to Bloomington, maybe in November. Thanks for responding!

Stacey
Hi Sandy, thanks so much, it has been a long time coming. I'm just learning how to take pictures on the cannon 4d. I hope to know Lightroom soon to edit the pictures. Hope you and the boys are well!

Stacey,
You food looks wonderful! I know the empty nester deal. Good luck on your new adventure, it looks like a win. You have one new follower.
Stacey
Thanks Joanne, Sydney is my inspiration! I have always wanted to do this. Now I really have the time. Technology is just not my thing. I really love to cook though!

Hi Stacey,
Love your blog. You said you will be posting straight from the heart. When have you ever done any different? You are a genuine person and that shows through all you have done. I will be checking in to get some new ideas. As far as technology, you will get the hang of it. I wish I was an empty nester, sometimes, but then I would miss out on the joys of being a grandparent. Three baby girls! Love you Stacey, Good Luck!
Stacey
Hi Reda, you are so nice, thanks for the comment. I am looking forward to posting more recipes, but am having trouble with internet here and my photographs. I hope to have more posts soon. Thanks again, Stacey

Hi Stacey,
The quiche was a huge hit! It was surprisingly easy, but tasted like I spent hours on it. Thanks again for a new favorite “company breakfast”.
Stacey
Hi Susan, I'm so glad you liked it! It is relatively easy and so yummy! I put your bread on my second post! Love, Stacey

Stacey,
I just took a look at your blog. The photos of the food are beautiful. We moved to New Zealand two years ago and we struggle with food here because you can’t always find things readily available in America. I’m going to try some of the recipes and see if we can find the ingredients in your recipes. It’s fun to see you following your passion. We did the same in coming to New Zealand. I wish you the best.
Drew
Stacey
Hi Drew, thanks so much for taking the time to check out my new food blog. I am having so much fun with it. It is still a work in progress though. I truly have a passion for cooking and I appreciate you following my recipes. I'm glad you love New Zealand,I bet it is just beautiful there! Thanks again, Stacey

Congratulations on your new blog. It is very nicely done and the pictures are great.
Stacey
Hi Judy, how nice of you to comment on my new blog. It truly has been a dream of mine to do something with my cooking. I have been cooking for years and entertaining and now I have a new creative outlook for myself that I am definitely passionate about! Thanks again for reading the blogs, I am going to be taking a photography class, since I am not a professional. I have sent in several pictures that have not been submitted into cooking sites because of mainly lighting issues. I have had a few submitted, my bread recipe and Thai Chicken Curry Wraps. Thanks again for taking the time to write. Love, Stacey
