so i mentioned i was taking a class right? working on these cute projects has been so much fun...see photos...it has inspired me to create in way i would not and remember that creating is fun. it actually felt like i was playing! i am using scissors and cutting things out! i know it sound weird but scrapbooking does not require a lot of detailed scissor work, it is mostly for trimming, and for that you usually use well...a trimmer.
last weekend i attended the pp (pink pineapple) crop for the club/class...very fun. 5 hours, girls, scissors...i mean what more could you ask for? Shannon brought in a stampin up, project as a part of being in her stamp club. we made 3 really cute cards.
for the book club crop it self, Elena had this idea to make paper dolls out of ourselves.

it was fun giving our self lipo suction (with scissors) and making cute outfits you would not normally be able to it in. also get those creative juices flowing. a few days later i had a brilliant idea to make a paper doll for my step-daughter (Ruby, 9 going on 17). she loves designing little clothes for her stuffed animals, i thought she might like making them for herself . i took her out in the back yard, took her picture and printed out 2 approx 8" pictures of herself to which she made so far a dress and little top. on days like this i feel like a good step mom.
while Ruby was designing the new outfits, i got a bug to take another stab at perfecting my Mexican quiche. i had made it once before it was great but i felt it needed more cheese. here is my recipe- i am open to suggestions!
i have not yet had quite the energy to make my own crust. i used to be an asst. baker for a restaurant, and would make my own crust all the time. i was very good at it but the store bought - omg is bakers square or marie callendars?? is very good so i like that one the best out of all i have tried (which has been quite a few...
so one pre-made -frozen pie crust.
bake according to pkg, directions- it is usually 10 min at 400. make sure you prick it with a fork several million times to avoid those bubbles... after you pull out your crust decrease your oven temp to 375. all ovens vary mine i think does not get as hot as it says. so i turn mine up a bit. cool that crust.
4 eggs at room temperature
2 cups Mexican blend cheeses shredded or shred it yourself if you feel adventurous.
1 cup half and half
(other recipes call for cream which i love but this one did not - i am sure you can try it that way)
1/4 cup diced onions
ALL recipes call for more but i do not like onions- just the essence, so i mince mine so tiny.
4 oz can of green chili's
dice your onions, go ahead and cook them up in a little olive oil until clear.
while that goes on, whisk up the eggs
toss the onions in with the eggs, give a little whisking
heat up the half and half until it is just warm and whisk into the eggs
add green chili's
toss in the cheese it will melt a bit due to the half and half so best not to whisk at this point, i just stir it a little.
cover a cookie sheet with tin foil, i am not sure why, but it helps clean up if the eggs spill over!
put pie crust on cookie sheet - then pour mixture into cooked/cooled shell
bake about 45 min- 1 hour depending on oven
serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a little bit of salsa
until next time- bon appetite!
