Happy Sunday! I told you had recipes up the wazoo for you and I do! One more coming this week then some workout stuff and Thanksgiving tips!
Make sure your checking back all week, or sign up to get your tailgating ebook and posts to your inbox! I made this quiche last week and ate it all week, I loved every sweet bite of it. It almost tastes like a stuffing in quiche form, which sounds confusing, but I promise it was truly delicious!
In other news, having a baby looks insane. Sometimes, I think the dog is crazy and then I watch my nephew. Happy, fussy, happy, fussy, happy, fussy, and repeat FOREVER.
Seriously, nothing freaks me out more than having someone depend on me entirely forever. As an only child, I think that is a tough concept to swallow. I can’t even share my food or clothes, it seems crazy and yet so normal at the same time. How is that possible? FOR. REAL.
This week is going to be a fun balance between family and work. I’ve realized working from home is easy when you have the house to yourself and the pets. Filled with people is a whole other story, I found myself waking up at 4:30 AM just to get some work done.
It’s okay though because when you are at work and everyone is at home that is torture too. You spend the whole day texting them and feeling left out, you can’t win. One thing I’ve realized, babies are awesome, when they sleep. I get a ton of work done while baby and puppy are asleep, lord help me if I get lucky enough to become a mom.

I was planning on serving this quiche for breakfast Thanksgiving morning. I’m all for a high protein breakfast on a day that there will be more carbs and alcohol than usual. However, certain members of our family despise butternut squash.
I wanted to be like, whatever then, make your own food, more for me! However, that wouldn’t make me a very good host, now would it? Luckily I have loads of yummy delicious quiche recipes on the blog perfect for feeding a crowd any holiday morning. Looking for some ideas?
