Mini Morning Quiche

I found myself rushing around in the morning and only having time to grab a granola bar on my way out the door. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some granola, but it got real old real fast. That's when my genius "sister-in-law to be" suggested that I make mini quiches! 

These suckers have changed my life! I am finally eating a breakfast that is beyond tasty & the best part is it's quick and easy on the go, too! 

Here's how you can whip these mini morning quiches up in less than 35 minutes! 

Your Grochery List: 

Olive oil or coconut oil 

1 red onion

1 tomato

1 green pepper

5 slices of bacon 

A dozen eggs

1/2 tsp of salt

A small can of mushrooms

2 garlic gloves 

1/3 cup of milk of choice

3 oz. of shredded cheese

1/8 tsp of black pepper

1/3 cup of all purpose flour

1/4 cup of finely chopped cilantro or baby spinach

Directions: 

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees

 Grease or use non-stick spray on a muffin tin.

(I used a mini square brownie pan)

 Put a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil in a skillet pan and sauté your choice of meat (I chose bacon) over medium.  While sautéing I threw in teaspoon of minced garlic and a dash of salt to help season the bacon. 

Once I sauté bacon I always place it on a paper towel to soak up all of the fatty juices. 

Next dice up your veggies!

 I chose to use tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms and red onions, but the options are ENDLESS! The more the merrier! Mix in all of your favs to personalize your mini morning quiches to suit your fancy! 

Throw it all in a mixing bowl! 

Look how pretty the layers look! 

Mix in the bacon and stir stir stir! 

Now grab a dozen eggs, a whisk, and another mixing bowl/measuring cup!

Crack those eggs and get to whisking! 

Once the eggs are whisked together, add in the milk, flour, salt and pepper and continue whisking until smooth. 

Then add the cheese and the veggie/meat mixture to the bowl and mix until your heart desires! 

You are ALMOST DONE! Fill each of the little compartments 3/4 of the way full with your yummy concoction.

Pop the baking tray in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until firm.

When they're done, they should rise similar to this!

You can store these in ziplock bags and place them in the freezer, or if you're like me, you can store 5 in a glass container in the fridge so you have one for every day of the work week! 

The finished product! 

Enjoy!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Everyone!!! 

The weekend is finally here!!! I am kicking off the excitement with another link-up of Friday Favorites with some of my favorite bloggers. Check out Andrea's blog called Momfessionals, Erika's blog called A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci's blog called Grace and Love. Their blogs are so inspiring and they are a must read! 

1. Spring handbags!!!!

A few months ago I blogged all about the perfect spring handbags.

Every beautiful bag you could ever imagine and more! I still love my blue bag more than anything but since starting my new job I needed something a little bigger to lug around my laptop and other work materials. My grandparents are absolute gems and hooked me up with the perfect briefcase as a graduation present.

I love how much I can fit in this cross body briefcase by Coach. It's nice and spacey without being to big and bulky.

Now this pink jewel of a bag is the queen of all briefcases. Look how adorable and simplistic this briefcase is. If you want to look like you belong on Legally Blonde than you need to purchase this bag and rock it out in the workforce.

I am secretly swooning over this brown vintage briefcase. Partially because its color is titled espresso and it's hard not to love anything somewhat related to coffee, and partially because look at how dang sleek this bag is. Just picture yourself prancing into the office with this thing resting on your shoulder.. you would be turning heads and dropping jaws! 

2. All of the adorable chairs at Target! 

I am telling you people, Target is the place to go! They always have wonderful sales going on and right now they have 10% off select chairs! Check out some of these beauts! 

I think this tufted upholstered arm chair belongs in my living room. I am swooning over how adorable it is. I just know it has to be equally as comfy! 

For some reason this crazy chair has completely stolen my attention. I just see it being the perfect accent chair in a little girls bedroom or a fancy, fun home office workspace! Maybe I can convince my better half that we can add this pretty thing into the living room mix too! ;)

Okay, now realistically, this may be the chair that wanders its way into my life. I think the future hubby would be content with a recliner and as far as recliners go, this little guy is pretty cute! 

#3. My Family

I really hit the jackpot in the family department. I am blessed way beyond measure with the most supportive and loving family members.

                

Last week my parents and grandparents put all of their effort and energy into helping me pack up my life as I once new it and lug all my belongings five hours to Southwestern Indiana. Talk about saints. These people are the most selfless people I have ever met. These people are my favorites.

They provide me with so much laughter and joy! Never a dull moment with these lovely people!

#4. Our Engagement photos

If you are searching for an engagement/wedding photographer near Fort Wayne, Indiana you have to seek out Behind the Lens Photography. We had an absolute blast shooting our photos, even at sunrise! Here are a few of our favorites we just recently got back! 

Happy Friday, Everyone! Have a blessed and fun-filled weekend! Thanks for stopping by! 

Thankful Thursday

My sweet bestie Addie and I are kicking off our Thursday with lots of thankfulness! 

This past week has been a complete whirlwind for me. I graduated from college, moved into my very first apartment and started my first ever real full-time job. Just a tad overwhelming to say the least. Despite all of the chaos I can't help but sit back and reflect on all I have to be thankful for. 

Just as our "thankful Thursday" logo says the Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for us. In my eyes, truer words have never been spoken. No matter how hard a situation may be, how bad the struggles we are going through are, whether we just won a million dollars on a lottery ticket or we just scored a huge bonus at our job, there is always always something to be thankful for. 

With that being said, here are the things that I am extra thankful for this week!

1. How much support, encouragement and love I felt throughout my college experience from my family. They truly pushed me to be the best student I could be and I don't think I would have made it through college without each and everyone of them! 

2. My wonderful Ann Tweedale sisters. Love them more than anything.

3. My apartment! A place I can officially call my own.  

4. A wonderful second family that I officially get to join in October. Blessed beyond measure for all of my in-laws and the love and joy that add to my life. 

5. My grandparents and parents for all they have done to help make my life transitions go smoothly. They truly have been my rock and support through all of these big changes recently.

These are just a few! What are you thankful for this week?

#1. Beach cover-ups 

You can't go to the beach without the perfect cover-up! It's so practical and makes getting ready for a day in the sun so easy! 

Right now Target has my cover-up and other cute options buy one get one 50% and I honestly think I may go back and snag a few more in different colors. 

I just have never had a cover-up so comfy and light.

black//gray//sour cream

I am also obsessing over how adorable these cover-ups are too! I love the sheer and lace combo...so classy, and sweet! 

black//blue cloud//coral explosion//ivory

And these tiny, adorable things are just too precious for the little ones in your life. I wish they made that blue striped cover up in my size. 

pink//blue stripe//hearts

#2. Good laughs with good friends

Okay, I still occasionally burst out laughing thinking about this story. Last week I headed to Orlando with two of my besties for a week at Disney World. 

Who knew a freaking toilet would create so much drama on the trip, but let me tell you friends, it certainly did. To start off we had some minor troubles remembering/locating what resort we were staying in. I blame it on the 14 hour car ride, but some may say we are just plain crazy. 

It gets worse though. My dear friend Taylor had used the restroom and couldn't figure out how to flush the toilet, so she insisted that I come in and help her. 

My first thought was, "this lady wants to be an optometrist and can't figure out how to flush a toilet...seems a bit problematic" 

That is until I got in there and couldn't figure it out either... then my next thought was..

"oh my gosh, we are on Punk'd. Ashton Kutcher is about to pop out from somewhere."

But a few minutes passed and no Ashton Kutcher and still no signs of how to flush the toilet. I am telling you we literally examined what we thought was every square inch of the thing and our minds were stumped.

Taylor ended up calling the front desk lady and she informed us that there was either a lever on the side or a button on the top...

and sure enough....

There was a button of the top that a little roll of toilet paper had been camouflaging. Some may ask why we never thought to move the toilet paper roll, and friends, I wish I could give you a good answer. 

I have never felt more intelligent than in this moment...

#3. Spring Handbags

Earlier this week I blogged all about my winter blues and how I was coping with bright colorful handbags. I am swooning over all of the adorable options Target has to offer and they are even buy one get one 50%.

#4. Thankful Thursdays

                                        

Every Thursday my bestie Addie and I link-up for Thankful Thursday! It is one of my absolutely favorite parts of the week!

  

Thankful Thursday's are all about setting the stress aside, forgetting about your to-do list and capturing all of the positives in your life. 

I don't know about you, but sometimes it's easy for me to get wrapped up in day to day life and I let the little things overshadow all of the great things in my life! This series is a great way to remind myself of all that I am grateful for. 

We would LOVE for you all to join us as well! Grab the "Thankful Thursday" graphic & link-up with me or Addie, at She Who Longs to Be next Thursday! 

We are so excited to hear about all of the wonderful things you all are thankful for! 

Have a great weekend, friends! Thanks for stopping by!

April Fools Day: Prankity Prank Prank

I hate to admit it, but I get far too much enjoyment out of simple, harmless pranks. My friend Madi and I thrived on pranks in high school. We filled up her entire boyfriend's car with balloons, painted murals of beach scenes on the hood of our friends' cars with condiments, and we even went as far as dumpster diving for old household items to make a living room arrangement in our friend's driveway, we were lucky enough to even find an old toilet to use. 

It's no surprise at all that when April Fool's Day rolls around I am bound to have something up my sleeve. Pinterest was my saving grace this year and was full of hilarious ideas. 

Here are just a few: 

What could start your morning off better than a little surprise in your deodorant stick...

It would be a bit bizarre to open up the fridge and find everything staring at you.

Who wouldn't want some "brownies" for dessert after dinner?

(source)

If brownies don't sound good, maybe a nice chocolate covered "apple" will make your mouth water...

or maybe just your eyes... ;)

I have been wanting to try this one for a long time...

Happy April Fool's Day, friends! Are you up to any pranking? 

Every Handbag You Could Ever Imagine

My parents are laying on the beach in Florida in 80 degree weather while I am stuck in Indiana, so I am coping by doing some online shopping at my one and only, Target. 

If I do say so myself retail therapy does wonders for the winter blues.

So here's to ignoring reality and saying hello to spring and hello to a whole bunch of pretty handbags. 

I am convinced that a handbag can add just the pop of color you need to your spring wardrobe. Check out these adorable inspirations from Pinterest. 

Target has some unbelievably adorable handbags and they are buy one get one 50%. 

It's like they knew I was in need of a new handbag at a great price. 

Check out some of there absolutely stunning and unique bags:

blue one//blue two//blue three

pink one//pink two//pink three

green one//green two//green three

yellow one//yellow two//yellow three

orange one//orange two//orange three

red one//red two//red three

Talk about a steal. I ordered the blue one in the middle and the pink one on the far left. I think these two bags are going to become staples in my spring wardrobe this year. 

So excited to add a little sass and fun to my everyday attire with these colorful handbags. 

Which ones are your favorites?
