Weekend Meals: Quick and Easy Quiche

It's been a long time since I've had quiche for breakfast. Why? Because I normally go to my favorite restaurant for brunch in DC, The Tabard Inn to eat it. And I haven't been there in forever. (that has got to change)
This past weekend my parents were in town and we opted to make a easy quiche. This recipe was found on the food network website and had great ratings. Besides spinach and cheese, we added my favorite breakfast item: bacon. Of course, everything tastes better with bacon. Because I'm eating gluten free I decided to make my in a little glass ramekin. All I can say: Delish!

Lately

I've been dealing with third trimester 'stuff'... Wy's stye (poor guy), Dr. appointments, baby room decorating, toddler room organizing, car shopping, working, Tim starting a new job...and the like. I've been exhausted (to say the least) and this has contributed to my lack of picture taking and blog posting. At this point, we are just trying to survive :)
Thankfully Mr. Wy goes along as normal and is loving life. He loves stickers, blocks, abc's, and his cars.

Miss Amy

I never understood how amazing it is to have people love your kids until I became a mom. Miss Amy fits right into that category.
She became my friend on a weekend trip to the Bahamas. Yes, strange I know.
She then became my roommate and one of my best friends.
Miss Amy and I have taken many of our vacations together- mostly beach vacations, my favorite: a stop in Jamaica for the day off of our cruise ship.
We have supported one another through many male relationships, break-ups and all.
We go to church together, lunch together, shopping at thrift stores together.
Thankfully Amy is friends with my husband, supported me at my wedding, kept me sane in my pregnancy with Wyatt, was at Wyatt's birth, and has come over to our house at least once a week since Wyatt has been born. (Tim and I don't leave our home anymore!!!)
God blessed me with a faithful friend, and a friend who has taken interest in my son. I'm so grateful. Mr. Wy can't stop talking about Amy these days. He mentions her name numerous times during the day, and sometimes first thing in the morning.
Here's a shot of these 2 at the mall on President's Day:
I didn't have to ask, but Amy distracted Wy so that I could take a break and help my husband shop :)
Here's more pics that I found of the two of them. Thank you God for good friends!
Thanks for loving my little man so well, Amy!

Happy Valentines Day

Our sweet nanny sent this to me at work today. By far, it's the best gift of the day...
Tim, this e card beats the amazing chocolates you brought home last night...but I don't think anything will compare to an evening out with you! Happy Valentines Day to all my friends.

Chocolate Craving

We've been dealing with Wy's stye and a number of other things over the past few weeks. And because it's been a bit stressful (and maybe because I'm preggers) I've been craving chocolate. Most chocolate recipes I've found contain gluten so they haven't worked for me, but this weekend I found a recipe from Sprouted Kitchen and decided to try them out. The ingredients: walnuts, cranberries, candied ginger, rice puffs, and dark chocolate. Yum. I'm planning to use them for a couple Valentines Day gifts.
