It has been a huge week.  With me running at the spur of the moment to be with my daughter in Brisbane.  She  has been unwell and in hospital so I went to give her a bit of a hand and to look after my gorgeous granddaughter and of course my daughter as well.  Really, any excuse for me to go see my kids would do. 

Luckily, my daughter is on the mend.  I came home last night, with many orders to do for my crafting.  I have spent almost all day today trying to catch up, hence where I would normally have my dinner menu already thought of before I even get out of bed, today, my mind was really elsewhere.

So come 5pm tonight , I was in panic station.  which is usually not the case.  Of course I haven't been to the supermarket either so had to make do with what I had in the fridge/freezer and pantry.  I also needed to clean out the fridge of food stuffs before we go away.

This is my recipe for Bacon and Brie quiche.  Hope you enjoyed it.  It worked a treat as usual in my house.
