SacredWeekends

Life is sweet when savored slowly... like a weekend you wish didn't have to end. Join me as I take time to feed my family well and live in the moment. Welcome to #sacredweekends, where we stop sprinting, start savoring, and live intentionally one weekend at a time.

This delicious pastry is simple. Your favorite preserve or fruit compote and homemade pie crust. Pinch together into tiny purses then cover in egg wash and decorative sugar. Simple. Beautiful. Delicious

We spend so much time running around, making plans, planning for the future... we forget what moments feel like. Moments are the bittersweet things that stop us in our tracks. We become simultaneously thankful for their existence and equally grieved at their transient nature. Savor moments. Inhale deeply the moment. Be present.

Bacon and Green Onion Quiche. 

For the Crust

Two Cups of organic flour (sifted)

1 stick of cold butter (cubed)

1/4 C. cold water

salt

In a food processor add flour and cold butter. 

Pulse four times 

Incorporate water and salt

Pulse until the dough forms into a ball (expect the butter to be the size of peas through the dough)

Press evenly into a quiche pan

For the Filling

8 eggs (depending on the size of your quiche dish)

1 cup bacon

1 cup green onions

shredded favorite hard cheese (I prefer parmigiano reggiano)

1 TBSP. fresh Italian Parsley

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tsp salt

1.5 tsp pepper

Whisk all ingredients together

Slowly pour ingredients to fill quiche crust

Place quiche pan on a cookie sheet (trust me, this is wise for you, the quiche, and future oven cleaning)

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until center is set and top is golden brown.

Serve warm with a fresh salad

I believe #sacredweekends should be savored. Make your own flavored liquer. Add fresh seasonal fruit to a glass container (fill bottom or halfway) and then add vodka (no need for expensive stuff) to fill the jar. Let it sit for a few days (several weeks for some fruits) and then enjoy in your favorite mixed drink.
