What to Serve with Quiche?

When serving quiche, it’s important to consider what sides will complement the dish. Spinach quiche is a rich and savory option and can be served either as a main course or as a breakfast option. 

As the quiche itself already contains eggs and cheese, consider pairing it with light and fresh options like a mixed greens salad or lightly dressed quinoa salad.

What Herbs Go with Rosemary: A Fresh Flavor Guide

Today I’m sharing What Herbs Go with Rosemary the Best? A fresh flavor guide to help you decipher how to mix your companion plants. Growing up, I was fortunate to spend countless hours in my Italian grandfather’s garden. It was a sprawling paradise filled with an abundance of fresh herbs, vegetables, and grapevines. One of my fondest memories is of my grandfather carrying a salt shaker in his pocket. He would wander through the rows of tomatoes, pluck one straight off the vine, sprinkle it with salt, and enjoy it right there in the garden. I still believe this is the best way to enjoy a fresh tomato. His pride in his garden was evident in his meticulous care of every plant, and his joy in sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends was contagious.
