Quiche!


I love quiche! This is the first one I've ever made. I told my parents I'd bring a quiche for day after Thanksgiving breakfast. I then realized I'd never made a quiche before. So I made this one from a recipe on allrecipes.com. I used turkey bacon instead of bacon bacon and it was delicious! I put it in my own pie plate to make it look like I even made the crust... but I didn't. It's a good trick though don't you think?

Also, I made chocolate peanut butter cookies that somehow missed having any pictures taken. They were chocolate on the outside and peanut butter filling on the inside. I overcooked one batch, so they came out a tad too crunchy, but the rest came out very nicely. They are kind of a time consuming cookie because you have to make two sets of dough and then do some manual labor to get them mushed into one cookie.

This weekend's project will be spritz cookies because Mom gave me her cookie press and I am dying to try it. Does anyone have a good standby recipe? there is one in my Pillsbury "complete baking" book, but I've never made it before.

Happy baking,
Mrs. Curlyhairedmegan!

My grandmother's vanilla spritz recipe:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
1 scant tsp. of salt
2 1/2 cups of flour
preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and almond extracts, and salt. Stir in flour until mixed well. Press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Store in an airtight container. These cookies freeze well, too!

I've made these before and they are DELICIOUS! The batter is really good too, if you're into that kind of thing ;)
