Since we go to my in-laws for Easter dinner, my parents came up to celebrate Easter early with us this year. Hubster and I have a week off from school, Pumpkin however only has two days (and baseball practice everyday but Sunday!!!). The only day that worked for our Easter was Friday night! Wanting to spend more time with my family, we kept the meal simple.

Saturday was sunny and warm outside. Sunday morning was a rainy grey morning and I was putting off posting. It poured all day… In the evening I was finally I was ready and my internet was down. It Must have been the freezing rainwater and sudden snowstorm… Mother Nature is very confused.

I’ve shared my crustless quiche recipe before, when my camera was broke. Now that I made it again, I decided to take a picture to share. This time I used turkey ham and a combination of cheese; extra sharp cheddar, sharp cheddar (white) and sharp cheddar (orange). I substituted shallots instead of the minced onions. It was the perfect breakfast on this snowy morning.

I like holidays, no matter how large or small, to last a week. I love the excuse for any festivity. This week is insanely busy with rehearsal going after school until almost 11p.m. My sister already beat me to the Irish Potatoes, so I made a quick St. Patrick’s Day soup recipe. I have exactly 1 hour to make my soup, eat, clean up, post this and get to rehearsal… I love a challenge.

Ham & Three Bean Soup

Ingredients:
chunk of  ham (I used turkey ham), 1 can black beans, 1 can great northern beans, 1 can green beans, minced onions, parsley, pepper, water

Directions:
Cut ham into smaller chunks and boil in water with minced onions, parsley and pepper. Add beans and boil for three minutes. Serve hot with warm soda bread (I prefer one that’s not sweet and without the raisins).

I prefer to use dried beans and soak them overnight, however I do what I can when time is limited.
