Food Files: Quiche With Mixed Vegetables

“I am convinced that I am the one who introduced Quiche to America.” James Beard

This is a new addition to my Food Files segment. Quiche is such an easy pie to make and I think it has suffered from years of people making jokes about it by saying certain people (men, programmers, hot guys, smart gals, etc) don’t eat Quiche. We can all enjoy a slice of this delectable pie because we can add any combination of ingredients to our mix and make it to our own tastes. Get as creative as you wish and enjoy it in 45 minutes flat. I love to experiment with mine and have made all sorts of Quiche dishes with a wide range of ingredients. This veggie rich, seasoned and heart healthy version should be light and tasty too. Enjoy!

“I don’t always prepare such rich meals. Sometimes I’ll just serve a simple Quiche, salad and dessert for dinner. During the week I try to eat lightly.” Paul Lynde

“The differences between a tart, a pie and a Quiche are a blur.” Yotam Ottolenghi

Preparation:
Food is key to our sustenance and is often viewed as a way of sharing love and affection. I grew up hearing that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and I can understand why. We gather to enjoy it with friends and family, and on special occasions. I’ve written a number of posts on food but, recently, my kids encouraged me to create a dedicated page to feature our recipes, our love for fresh ingredients and the joy of good food. This segment will be a repository for all things food; recipes, stories, reviews, special offers and more. If you’d like to share a good recipe with me please do in the comments.

This week’s Recipe Is Quiche With Mixed Vegetables. Hope you enjoy it!

Positive Motivation Tip: Enjoy your favorite foods with friends and family this holiday season, and remember to share your gratitude for the abundance.
