Pound Cake

This week, I was given the all-important job of taking care of the "boys" - my wonderful brother and father. With my mother at work an hour away, and my sister already back at college - I don't return for another week! - it was I alone who was left to feed the army.

And let me tell you, my teenage brother alone eats as much as an army. Maybe more!

So when it came to deciding upon a dessert that would last them more than a day and a half - no small feat, considering my brother's appetite - the choice was simple: pound cake. That glorious concoction of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Lots of butter and eggs.

Easy Breakfast Quiches

A few days ago, there was a breakfast-baking extravaganza at our house. My mother had an important meeting and was providing breakfast for everyone at her workplace, so the whole family helped her prepare. I was put in charge of quiches, and I thought, what a great opportunity to photograph and post this great recipe that we've been making for years!

These aren't truly quiches, since they don't have a pastry crust, but they are very similar and a lot easier to make. We love to make them in the evening, so in the morning, a few minutes of warming up are all that stand between us and a yummy, protein-rich breakfast.
