| Sausage and Grits Quiche |
My youngest starts kindergarten next year. Registration is next month and I can't believe how fast my babies are growing. For that matter I can't believe how much closer to 40 I am becoming. It seems that when you are in your 20's time moves slowly. You think of all the things that you have ahead of you. Then you have kids and by the time your in your late 30's time starts to move a lot more quickly. It seems that the last 8 years have moved in fast forward. It will be nice to have more free time when my youngest goes back to school. However, I also have to decide if I am going back to work, and the bigger question will there be a job to go back to when I do. I have a master's degree, but the field that I went to school for is no longer employable. Got to love how that works. So I have a lot of decisions to make in the next 8 months, but my youngest is just excited. He can't wait to join his older brother at the same grade school. I'm just nervous all around, but I know it will all work out in the end.
On Christmas day I made two breakfast recipes. One that we could all enjoy that was gluten free and one that everyone except me could eat. For the gluten free recipe I decided to try a recipe with grits. The recipe I tried was for Sausage and Grits Quiche from the November 2013 issue of Southern Living magazine.

This recipe has 11 ingredients. It takes 2 hours and 10 minutes of total time, 35 minutes of which is active and makes 6 servings. I only made a few changes to the original recipe. I left out the plain cornmeal on the bottom of the pie pan. Honestly, I forgot it at the store and greasing the pan worked out fine. I found that I had to tent the quiche the last 15 minutes of baking time and increase the total baking time by approximately 10 minutes. At 55 minutes the middle of the quiche was not fully set.

I really liked the flavor of the sausage and cheese together. Using grits in a quiche was a nice change of pace and I loved that it was an easy gluten free recipe. This is a rich recipe so you can slice the pieces small in order to have a larger number of servings. It also freezes well, I froze half of the quiche in pieces and have taken out individual servings for breakfast over the last week.
For the recipe go to Sausage and Grits Quiche.
Happy New Year! There seems to be a lot to look forward to in 2014, that require decisions and changes. It is all good, and it will all work out.
ReplyDeleteLoving your sausage and grits recipe.
Happy New Year :) I'm sure that everything will work out, it's just nerve wracking with all the decisions!
DeleteMy little one is in first grade this year and I don't know when he grew up, but it did fly by way too fast.
ReplyDeleteTime does go by way too quick!
DeleteThis recipe looks good and it reminds me of an egg-sausage bake I like to make on Christmas and Easter for breakfast. My little one is going to kindergarten this August! I'll finally have them both in the same school (my older one will be a third-grader). I have to register her fairly soon, sometime in February, I think. That went fast!
ReplyDeleteOur kids are the exact same age, my oldest will be a 3rd grader next year also :) It has gone by fast I agree!
DeleteI'm really excited to have a gluten free option for brunch! Good luck with your life changes -- all will go well, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really nice gluten free brunch option! Thanks for the good luck wishes :)
DeleteOh my-- this look delicious. My youngest started first grade this year. Days drag, but months and years are FLYING! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI agree months do drag, but years fly by!
DeleteI look at my girl and thought how time seems to be running too fast. I cant seem to keep up. We really have to enjoy every minute of it while it last.
ReplyDeleteTime is going so fast I agree. My kids are getting so big :)
DeleteThose kinds of decisions are looming in our house too, in addition to where we want to retire (I have lived in the snow long enough, this stuff makes me crazy...well just the driving in it). Blizzard tonight and 29 below zero temps predicted w/the windchill. Any warm state sounds about good right now. ;) The dish sounds good, we're big grits fans over here.
ReplyDeleteThis week was brutal weather wise, I am glad that temps have warmed up! I love grits too, they are yummy!
DeleteI hope you're having a great New Year. I can't believe I'm almost 40 as well and I feel just the same way you do. Time does seem to go in fast forward, 2013 seemed to fly by in a jiffy as well.
ReplyDeleteAs for that delicious looking quiche I can only imagine it tastes as good as it looks. Hubby is a big fan of all those ingredients but we've never thought to do it all together like that. Will have to make this very soon. Our kitchen is getting a makeover with new appliances in the next month so planning on being in the kitchen more. Happy New Year to you.
The quiche really is great, the grits are a nice way to make them gluten free. The ingredients work great together. Happy New Year to you as well :)
DeleteWishing you and your family a wonderful year, Ann! I remember when my son started to kindergarten..ah..missing those days:)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...Your Sausage and Grits Quiche looks delicious!
Happy New Year to you and your family as well :)
DeleteGood luck with your decisions, I have to say...those ahead of you won't be easy...at least were not for me! I still don't know if I'm in the right place and knowing me...will never know! This quiche is a Major Yum though...that I know! Love the sausage and cheese together! :) ela
ReplyDeleteI hope that I make the right decisions in the end :) The sausage and cheese together are so good in this recipe!
DeleteWhat a great idea to put grits in a quiche! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :) The grits are delicious in the quiche!
