greige mountain retreat...

I am completely in love with this entire home.  The soft colors and textures in the spaces are perfection.  Clean, simple and  sophisticated.  I could see myself relaxing here for sure.  You?

homemade quiche

 

 Every Holiday my mom has always made us Quiche for breakfast or brunch for as long as I can remember.  It has become a wonderful tradition that I am excited to share with my family.  Quiche is the perfect all around dish, breakfast, lunch or dinner! 

You can make a few variations on this theme but I stick pretty close to this recipe depending on what I have on hand.

1 pre-made pie crust (I use Trader Joes)

6-7 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 sweet onion

1/4 to 1/2 cup ham or bacon cooked

1/4 cup spinach finely chopped

salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2.  Roll out pie crust and place in deep pie dish, pushing into base and edges

3.  Beat eggs and milk in large bowl
4. Add all other ingredients in with eggs and mix together
5. Pour egg mixture into pie dish
6. Bake for 60 minutes until crust is brown and eggs are puffed at the top
7. Allow to cool before serving - eggs will settle
8. Serve with mils salsa

weekend wishes...

 

Last weekend we had a chance to snack and relax a bit and I am hoping to squeeze that in sometime this weekend too.  It is always a challenge to take a step back and really try and relax a bit.

This week has been very inspiring to say the least... here's a little of what I love!

These sweet prints make me miss Paris.. a lot!  

I am pretty sure we need to make this sandwich for lunch/dinner this weekend... yumm

Saw this little gold table at Target and I am pretty sure we must have at least one!

Picked up an army jacket last week and I love it.

I have been busy reading away and fell in love with Ten Tiny Breaths by K. A. Tucker.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Planting: Drought Tolerant Garden

 

Last fall we stayed in a house in Northern California with the most wonderful garden I have seen in a long while.  I loved that it was filled with beautiful grasses and succulents but also it had herbs and some great native plants.  I struggle with our landscape in the front of the house.  It has become a very sore spot for me as I cannot get anything to grow well...  I promise I am not usually a plant killer but something about this house has really challenged me for the past 5 years!  I am thinking this spring I will implement this style of garden and see how we do.  I would love hear what you think?  Have you used this approach?  I am thinking a little native and wild like these beds...
