Happy Sunday! I can’t believe we’re coming up to another week…I’m not ready yet! I’m linking up with Laura of Mommy Run Fast and Jill of Jill Conyers for What’s for Dinner. Check out their sites and see what everyone’s got on their menus for the week –I’m sure you’ll be inspired!
Meals Lately: Loving Quiche
This past week was insanely busy. Last weekend, I went down to the DC/Maryland area to visit my siblings. I had a great time and got to hang out with my twin nephews for the first time in quite some time. They’re only 4 but are getting so big now! They had a soccer game and were so cute running around the gym.
While in Maryland, my sister and I took a trip to Baltimore and went for brunch at Miss Shirley’s Cafe. It’s a wildly popular spot in the Inner Harbor area and had the long wait to prove it. It was also very expensive….but hey, sometimes you gotta treat yourself! My sister got Chicken and Waffles and I went for one of their “light” options, the Cajun Skinny – crustless egg white quiche with andouille sausage and shrimp with collard greens. It was all very delicious. Pro tip: Don’t get their pancakes, they’re terribly undercooked!
During the rest of the week I was just so busy and not in the mood to do any meal planning. That was a big mistake because all it led to was lots of eating out, which can definitely be fun, but isn’t always the smartest thing to do!
On Monday my friend Torrina was celebrating her birthday. We went out to a new restaurant and had some ice cream before I had to head home. She and my other 2 friends were a lot of fun that night. I ended up getting a delicious trout dinner and a couple of cocktails….and wine lol!
And last but not least, Saturday we went to brunch with one of our kickball friends, Meghan. It was great to catch up! We always have so many laughs. We went do a place called Sidecar that has THE best brunch. Bret and I are brunchheads, so trust me…this place is amazing and I haven’t had a bad dish yet! This was my second quiche of the week–it’s gigantic! After running 6 miles on Saturday, I gobbled up all of the food!

Okay, now is the time to get back on track. No more excuses. I spent a ton of money going out this past week and I can’t take it anymore! I miss making my own food! Clearly I’ve been craving quiche so I plan to make some mini quiches again this week for breakfast!

What do you plan to eat this week? Do you like quiche?
Quiche is my weakness! I’m totally with you on craving home cooked meals when I eat out too much/often! Whenever we travel or move all I want are my own meals and a stocked fridge! <3
I never knew how much I loved quiche until about a year ago…it’s definitely been a game changer for me!
I am a big fan of quiche, too! I know that feeling of eating out too much, too. I always end up feeling like I need to eat a big salad to balance things out! Can’t wait to hear all about your valentine’s day plans!
Yes you’re right…at least a salad will help with the guilt-factor! Stay tuned 🙂
My mother-in-law made quiche for us yesterday. It was delicious!!!
It’s pretty easy to make and fun to get creative with ingredients. I bet it was delicious!
Looks like you have a great week of meals ahead of you. I’m a huge fan of quiche. I totally need to make the muffins to have for breakfasts…
I’m so happy to be back to a regular schedule…I have to be pretty regimented otherwise I’ll easily be off track! Try the muffins, they’re so tasty and filling!
Oh man I LOVE quiche! I always forget about it. Maybe I’ll make some this week. Mini quiches are a great idea to take for work lunches with my daily salad.
It’s great to use up some of your leftover veggies too 🙂
Quiche sounds fantastic- it’s been awhile since I’ve made it!
Everything looks delicious! We usually don’t buy in to Valentine’s Day but are this year…can’t wait to hear what you have planned. Have a great week! 🙂
I don’t know why I always like to do Valentine’s Day big haha…hope you have a great week too!
That quiche looks so yummy! I find if I don’t meal plan and shop on the weekend I’m just not motivated and wind up eating out a lot during the week too.
Have a great week!
It’s so easy to fall off the wagon! I really have to force myself some days to get the meal planning done – I’m always glad that I do!
We love mini quiche!!! So easy and healthy!!!
Exactly!!
Oh I love quiche! I never make it, but I really do love it! I look forward to reading about your Valentine’s Day adventures. We don’t celebrate it (our anniversary is exactly one week later), but it’s always fun to read about what others are doing hah. I hope you guys have a lovely day then 🙂
I love Miss Shirleys! There is one next to my alma mater, so will def be heading up there before/after some lacrosse games 🙂
