Butternut Squash, Brie, and Chard Quiche

Motherhood: you give them life and they give you the flu.

Yep, that about sums it up.

Fine, I don’t have the flu. Probably just a common cold. BUT can someone please explain to me how it’s possible that whenever my child gets the sniffles for two days, I end up sick for a month?!?!?!? I didn’t even have time to get over the last hacking cough and now I’ve got a burgeoning sore throat + a leaky faucet nose.

Not fair. Not fair at all.

Butternut Squash, Brie, and Chard Quiche

At this point, between my stuffy nose and the fact that I’ve been popping cough drops like they’re candy, my taste buds are totally shot BUT I’m still craving this quiche. Big time.

It has sweet roasted squash, earthy garlicky chard, funky melty brie bites AND the creamiest custard base, all encased in a super easy pre-made crust.

I basically ate it all by myself and refused to let any of family members try it, BUT it would be perfect for entertaining during this upcoming holiday season.

Enjoy!

    Dear Dr. Joanne, it hits you worse and takes longer to get over because no one is making you all your meals, encouraging you to just lay down and take it easy, and telling you to go to sleep super early! You’re still momming/working/wifing hard while you’re sick!

    Feel better!

    my sympathies on the flu-cold… a friend of mine jokingly said that his flu seemed terminal. He lives in Canada, so I hope you are not getting the same he did…

    but this quiche… I have no words, it is a masterpiece of flavor and looks!
