My husband and I will be travelling to Japan in December and staying through early January. We’re both super excited as this is an area of the world we’ve wanted to see for a LONG time! I’m not usually one to plan ahead when I’m traveling, but in this case I wanted to investigate things […]

Spinach and Bacon Quiche
We were feeling a bit brunchy today since it was a holiday. And, I don’t think there’s a better brunch food than quiche. It’s so versatile and sooooo tasty! It’s almost impossible to get wrong too!
