Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Crustless Quiche Lorraine

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! We have an art 'brushes' theme this week. Here is my 'Brushes' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 /12").  It is done with paint markers.





 For the dinner date, I am showing my crustless quiche lorraine.  I used this recipe as a guide.  It is easy and delicious.

6 strips of cooked bacon crumbled
1 c grated swiss cheese
1/4c half and half cream
1/3 c 1% milk

1/2 tsp pepper
pinch nutmeg
1 tsp dried chives

preheat oven 350F
arrange crumbled bacon on a pie plate lined with parchment paper
spread grated cheese over top
whisk eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg
pour this custard over and top with chives
bake 35-45 mins until centre is set.

Green Beans for weight loss


 I will be eating a lot more green beans as it is low in calories and very nutritious. A cup of green beans has 28 calories.  Even at 5.66 g of carbs it is pretty good.  Here is a link with details.

Chick peas although nutritious, have 364 calories per 3/4 cup along with 61 g of carbs.  This has to be eaten in smaller servings.

One of my sister's friend's vets told her to feed her dog green beans to lose weight.  So we started eating them more too!

 Daughter L and her husband hosted a delicious Easter dinner this year.  Her husband's family and our family were in attendance.  I brought over a jerk pork dish and L made chicken legs with yummy sides.

Daddy's Little Girl


Happy Easter!

 This wedding video had me bawling out, obviously I am a Disney fan!  A dad surprised his daughter on her wedding day by inviting Lea Salonga to perform 'A Whole New World' from the Disney Movie Aladdin.  She was a Disney fan as a little girl!  Talk about a dream come true!

My niece is getting married next year so one of my sisters mentioned this video.  They are not huge Disney fans and balked at the extra expense of doing something like this.  But this girl is obviously daddy's little girl!
