We have had a wonderful squash harvest this year and it has been so much fun to have all the fresh veggies for all our meals. This morning I am preparing a Summer Squash Quiche for brunch. It is going to be so good!

    That looks so good! I love quiche, but I haven't made it in years. Maybe because of hubby.
    I'll have to buy the squash. I tried to grow it this year, but all my plants died. I haven't figured out why.

    Well, Blogger is kicking my _ _ _ today. I wrote a long comment and it's gone. :-( Oh well...

    I haven't made a quiche in forever but will definitely try this. It looks beautiful with all the colors and I know it's flavorful with all the ingredients. Love pepper jack cheese!

    Stay cool my friend!

    Wow, does THIS look good, Miz Helen! I make a zucchini quiche that we like but it is not where near as fancy nor full as yours. I look forward to trying your version soon.

    I hope you get to make the Vinegar Chicken & that you like it. We sure did!

    fondly,

    Stopping by from Made it on Monday. That quiche looks too good to eat. I never seen one rise so high! It's just perfect. I'm saving this recipe to use in the spring and fall when I have squash coming out my ears.

    This looks so very good. Did you use fresh herbs? I didn't see that as I was reading but could have passed over it. I will make this probably over the weekend. We enjoy a Quiche often in the evening for dinner pared with a small salad.

    I posted for Foodie Friday an unusual Squash Casserole. You might like to take a look at it since you seem to have lots of home grown squash.

    Hi Carolyn,
    I did use fresh herbs for the Quiche, just because I have them in my herb garden. You could use dried if fresh are not available. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week end!

    Thanks Helen, I do have an herb garden and knew it would make a difference in measurements if it was fresh or dried. I figured it probably was fresh. This is definitely on my weekend menu plan.
