Meal Planning Kit, Week 3, Day 4 - AKA, The New Neighbors!

Yes, we do live in one of those amazing neighborhoods, where people are welcomed with food & friendship!   This morning we arose to the great sound of new next door neighbors.   While I was making our yummy brunch of Strawberry Stuffed French Toast, I thought what a better welcome then a loaf of warm bread for snacking, while moving in.  

Cranberry Citrus Quick Bread Mix it is!

No, really . . . that is all you need!

Warm & Wonderful!

Even gifts of food, should be presented beautifully - In one of the boxes from the Biltmore Inspirations Celebrate Gift Bag Set.  

While delivering this box to the new neighbors, one of the other neighbors invited them to dinner tonight.  They included all of the families in the cul de sac, so we could all get to know them and welcome them.  So, those plans we laid earlier in the week . . . changing again!  

Summer Salsa Quiche is going to the party!  We decide to go ahead and make our next meal and bring it to share with our friends. 

I have never used frozen pie crust before, so I had an opportunity to learn about something new.   It never occurred to me that you would bake it for 10 minutes before filling it. 

The recipe called for the same summer salsa that we made earlier in the week.  Since we had leftovers; I cheated, drained that and used it for the base of the quiche.   Then layered Asiago cheese. 

Simple egg mixture

Poured over the top of salsa & cheese

And, you have a lovely quiche to take to the party!

BONUS:

Since I used the extra salsa from the Summer Salsa Rice, I had extra Biltmore Inspirations Summer Salsa Seasoning mix to make one of my favorites, to take to the party:

 Chunky Black Bean Summer Salsa!

I try to keep these items on hand, for just these kinds of impromptu occasions.

If what was left in my beautiful Blue Ridge Pie Plate, at the end of the evening, is any indication; it was a hit!

Hubby needs his daily quote . . . I better go nudge him before he falls asleep! 

About the Summer Salsa Quiche he says "I thought it was very good" - He is boring when he is tired ;-)

I really liked the flavors and it was a great quiche consistency - I am looking forward to a piece for breakfast in the morning!
