Asparagus Mini Quiche

November 22, 2011

I am proud of myself the way this recipe turned out. I had leftover pie pastry dough left over from the caramel apple pie and needed to use it before it went bad. I found a mini quiche recipe online and decided it was time to explore baking quiche. They turned out beautifully and tasted just we good. These would be great for a breakfast or brunch for those that appreciate the work that goes into a quiche.

This recipe can be found on Martha Stewart's website.

Fancy Potato

November 20, 2011

I got this recipe out of a Martha Stewart magazine. They are easy to make and look fancy if you need them for a formal dinner setting.

I don't have the recipe since I accidentally threw away my magazine, but the general directions are to take your potato and peal the skin from the top horizontal half. Then thinly slice the pealed half down to where the peal starts (hopefully the picture shows how it is done). Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake as you would a baked potato, but check it at 45 minutes since it really won't take as long as a baked potato to cook.

Has anyone else made these and have suggestions?

Carmel Apple Pie

November 13, 2011

Donna gave me the recipe for this apple pie. I've had the pie she made before, but when I baked it, I was too eager and took it out of the oven too early. So, my apples still had a bit of a crisp to the bite. Still...very tasty. If you would like the recipe you'll have to let me know.

Woodland Weekend

November 5, 2011

For Christmas last year I gave Mike a gift certificate to a bed and breakfast in Woodland, UT. We finally made it out there to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. The area was beautiful and peaceful. That night it snowed so when we got up in the morning, there was a blanket of snow covering the empty fields around the area.

We enjoyed the company of the other guests and owner during breakfast. It's part of the experience of staying at a bed and breakfast.
