Finishing up the month with a Spinach Pie Lasagna

April is nearly a wrap.  So many good things to celebrate during the month of April starting with Easter and followed by birthdays.  And then such sadness to remember during this month on the anniversary of our loss of Kirsten.

A plethora of emotions roiling around inside of me and such a sense of helplessness as I am faced with the fact that I cannot fix what is broken for those I love the most.  Perhaps it is God's way of telling me to let go and place my trust in Him.  A hard lesson for me to learn.

Spinach Pesto Pasta #SundayFunday

This pesto is made with basil and spinach for a little extra oomph and nutrition.  I'm always looking for ways to sneak extra veggies into my family meals and this recipe is perfect for the job.  You can use any pasta you like for this recipe.  I used a spinach and cheese ravioli that I had bought while at the Farmer's Market.

Years ago, circa:1974, when I was a young bride and mother, I picked up one of those cookbooks found while waiting in checkout at the grocery store.  Well, to be honest, I picked up one nearly every week when I did my shopping and for years they along with my BHG that I got as a wedding gift were my sole inspiration for cooking for my family each night.

I kept those little cookbooks for years until my real cookbook collection amassed to a huge level, at which time I tore out the recipes I used most often and disposed of the rest.  One of the recipes I kept came from Campbells  Soup Company.  This neat little cookbook gave you a chart to work from.

For Quiche it listed 1 can of cream soup, 1 cup shredded cheese, meat, 1/2 c. vegetable and then it gave you different ideas of items you could mix and match depending on what you had in the house.  It has been my go to recipe for quiche for many years.

The quiche I'm sharing today uses cream of chicken soup for the custard base. 

A blend of 3 different types of Cheddar Cheese.

Leftover chicken breast from a sheet pan dinner I had made earlier in the week and spinach that I had in my freezer.

The great thing about Quiche is that it is a wonderful way to use up bits and pieces of leftovers.  You don't need a lot of anything and you can mix and match whatever ingredients are in your refrigerator.  Turkey quiche with leftover corn, broccoli and cranberries is a wonderful breakfast over the Thanksgiving weekend.  

I often like to serve up several different kinds of quiche at a brunch buffet.  Quiche, fruit salad, sweet breads and mimosas make for a perfect festive meal.  If you are adverse to using the canned soup I have plenty of recipes that don't call for it and that will make a great selection at your Holiday Brunch Buffet.

Vegetable Quiche for those who like to go meatless.

These individual little quiches with potato crusts.

Smoked Salmon and Herb Cheese

Ham and Broccoli 

Whatever type of quiche you decide to make I send you happy thoughts for a safe and happy Holiday season.  Join me tomorrow when I meet up with the Bread Bakers to share Indian Flatbreads.
