Hello, cyber friends! Happy September! September is my favorite month because it is the month when I was born and because it means that Fall is around the corner. Who’s excited for Fall? I can’t wait!! :) We finally have a new super in our building, after our beloved Mike left (without saying goodbye) a few months ago, apparently for health reasons. Or at least that’s what the building company said… Anyway, we really loved Mike, the old super, and we want to love this new super as well....

Of course, it’s still an ideal addition to a picturesque weekend brunch. Pair it with the all-star team of Oven Baked Bacon, Healthy Blueberry Muffins, and Oatmeal Pancakes, and now you have a spread fit for royalty.

Classically, quiche filling is made with eggs, heavy cream, cheese, and then whatever meat and/or vegetables you like....

Not only does it come out tender and juicy, it’s packed with flavor that you just don’t get anywhere else. Cooking meat in soda isn’t anything new, and you could use cola if you prefer.
