Lately I have had a serious craving for quiche lorraine, but after an intensive online search for the perfect recipe and finding nothing I called my mum for ideas/help. She told me about her ham and swiss quiche. The recipe was not only simple, but so delicious I might just make it again for dinner next week.
 
 

Ham & Swiss Quiche
Ingredients
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 cup swiss cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions
½ cup Bisquick mix
1 cup 2% milk (or whole milk)
2 large eggs
dash of pepper 

Directions
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle ham, cheese and onions in pie plate and mix together.
3. Whisk Bisquick, milk, eggs and pepper until blended; pour into pie plate.
4. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Pastels are my spring polish of choice. If you’re anything like me you love the 2013 spring nail collection by Estée Lauder featuring the prettiest pastels of the season. Unfortunately, I do not have an extra $100 lying around to spend on nail polish right now, but after a trip to Target (not nail polish related) I discovered that Essie has a collection out for spring almost identical to Estée Lauder’s. Which collection is your favorite?

Conversation Heart Cookies

Everything is cuter in cookie form, in my opinion. Especially when it involves pink and hearts. Since I have a rather unhealthy obsession with conversation hearts, I decided to use the idea and recreate them as sugar cookies. I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, made icing in the colors of the candies, and wrote my own little notes.
