Where have I been? We have been very, very busy doing projects around the house. D has redone the floors in both bathrooms. I’ve repainted the bathrooms. D redid the door frame to Munchkin’s room (it was a mess) and rehung the door in the other direction. I stained the new door frame. D built desks for Munchkin and I and a new shoe cabinet for the entryway. I’m working on getting those things painted. D built two drawers for my kitchen cabinet. I organized the kitchen cabinets, and reorganized a few things in the kitchen. D has been working…

Quiche
Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling
Thankfully, Munchkin’s feeling better this week. She’s still not 100%, but she’s doing well enough that we’ve started back with school today. After she finished up her regular school work, we decided to tackle last week’s cooking assignment for tonight’s supper. Our assignment/lesson from last week was quiche.

Since we’re gluten free, we changed up the recipe a little to make a potato (hash brown) crust instead of using a pie crust. I did this part of the recipe, but…
