While Eli was napping, Norah assisted me with her first pie crust on Wednesday. Her first task ( after washing her hands) was to cut in the shortening. Although she requested to do this job, I have to admit I felt a little bit of guilt in giving it to her, since it's one that I hate. (Honestly, is there anyone out there, over the age of 6 who genuinely relishes squishing lard between their fingers?) She did a great job, and I didn't even have to go behind her and redo her work.
She thought her hands looked pretty funny, covered in goop. (And promptly asked for me to wash them after we photo documented)
The end result? Not pie, but quiche! We cleverly topped it with bacon, in hopes of baiting Daddy into eating it. (And our ingenious ploy worked like a charm...never underestimate the power of bacon where a Robinson man is involved)
Norah & Mommy's Quiche1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
1 small onion, diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
2 TBSP olive oil
6 eggs
diced ham
1/2 teaspoon oregano, basil, and black pepper, and Greek seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup cheddar cheese
Prepare pie crust, place in pie pan. Heat oil in skillet. Saute bell pepper and onion until soft. In a medium bowl, beat eggs. Add all other ingredients, mixing well. Pour egg mixture into pie crust and bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour. (Until quiche is a nice, golden brown) Top with bacon, if Daddy needs a little convincing that quiche is a manly enough dish to satisfy his appetite.
Stay tuned, to find out what Eli was up to while Norah was napping!

Ryan would totally eat that up. He believes bacon is not only a meat but a seasoning and should go with everything. Thanks for the recipe, girl. I may make that for tomorrow morning!
Um....I must admit I love squishing things in my fingers....lard...meatloaf...dirt.
I think I might feel selfish for NOT letting Bella partake in this. :)
