Spinach, artichoke & mushroom quiche is the perfect dinner to make when you’re almost out of groceries and you have no time to make dinner.

This is also known as my life every day now.

I am nonstop from the moment I wake up to the moment my head crashes into the pillow. Since going back to work and moving life got much crazier, but I am on a mission to lose the last of my pregnancy weight regardless. This is a healthy and simple dish that I’ve made a few times already. The crust baking in the oven makes my home smell like an old Italian bakery in the middle of the night, and the cleanup is as easy as washing the bowl you used for the mixture. Be lazy like me and keep frozen pie crusts on hand and you can have a fantastic dinner ready in a flash.

Spinach, artichoke, & mushroom quiche
Makes 2 quiches

Ingredients:
2 frozen pie crusts*
6 eggs
1/4 cup skim milk
1 15 oz can artichoke hearts, chopped
1 box frozen spinach, defrosted and strained of all liquid
4 large button mushrooms, sliced

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Beat your eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, artichoke hearts, spinach and mushrooms.
3. Remove the pie crusts from the freezer and spread the mixture evenly in each crust.
4. Bake until cooked through and the crust is golden, about 20 minutes for us.
5. Enjoy paired with your favorite salad!

*Whole Foods sells a great pie crust with only 5 ingredients. Look for that one!

And now I’m off to simultaneously play with my baby, call in a work order, unload the dishwasher and watch the news.

PS- This tastes even better the next day.

Last night in our first home.

Tonight is the last night in our first home together. It’s the home where we:

  • hosted our first dinner parties together
  • had many Friday night pizza nights
  • ran our first half marathon
  • finished our first puzzle together
  • designed new bathrooms
  • brought home our baby boy
  • and on and on and on

Trig & I right after I settled in to Philly, August 2009:

(Oh, how I miss those skinny arms…)

I am really excited to move to our new home tomorrow, but as I sit here on my last day in our first home I am a bit sad. We made so many great memories here, and I am reluctant to move on. Change is thrilling and exciting and fun, but it is also scary. When we got married, or when I moved to Philly, or when my husband started his new job, or when we brought home our son, I was scared but adapted quickly. I hope the same for this new change.

How will Raffi like his new home? Will I ever learn to park in our very small new parking spot? What special home will my favorite serving pieces and plates and cups find? How will Saturday mornings feel? Will the sun hit my face at 6 AM, or will it be soft and dark in my room until late afternoon?

As we take another step in the path of our lives, I recall our beautiful memories and look forward to creating new ones.

Signed,
Farewell to Fairmount
