Whatever Happened To Sunday Dinners? Celine’s Amazing Quiches

Before the fantastical deliciousness, just a reminder :

woyopracmoIt’s never too late to join in the yoga fun!

One does need sustenance in order to properly practice yoga, n’est-ce pas? Good thing there is so much deliciousness to chose from amongst the test recipes for Celine and Joni’s 500 Vegan Recipes! Honestly, the most difficult thing about being a tester (oh, woe is me) is deciding what to make.

I took advantage of our last lazy holiday Sunday to fix a lovely Sunday dinner. The crazy unusually cold temps seemed to suggest we make a big ole late lunch and stay in our jammies : -5c was the high!?! What the heck is up with that? I know, that doesn’t sound like much for some of you, but we are just not equipped for that kind of cold!

I made some cheater green rice (thawed frozen spinach tossed in with rice), and a green salad to round out the meal. I hardly was able to snap a photo as the Fish School was starving!

These quiches are the easiest I’ve ever made – and the most convincing, too. This isn’t the first time I’ve made these. Monsieur Fish, not terribly loquacious, has requested them 3 times over the past month!

The first time I made these he didn’t get in until well after the dinner hour. I’d just left everything out so he could help himself, and he actually had to wake me up to ask me if I’d decided to start eating eggs! He thought they were that authentic tasting! Let me reassure you, no eggs were cracked in the making of these babies!

    I’m TOTALLY joining your yoga group! One my goals for 2009 is to establish a daily yoga practice, and this is a perfect way to kickstart it. I’m in :-)

    So glad you’re back on your feet again!

    Quiches are so hard to make well as a vegan, at least in my experience. Seems like a mini-quiche is a great solution to some of the common problems.

    Oooh…those look so good! I love Joni and Celine’s recipes from their sites (and Joni’s first book) and am eagerly awaiting this one!

    I know what you mean about the cold. It was -7 here for a little while. We didn’t go anywhere! I don’t know how they do it in Canada etc. Still tomorrow (or rather Wednesday) we will be in Santiago and enjoying 33 degrees!

    Lucky you testing recipes for Celine! Hang in there with the cold!!

    PS: I’ll make you pancakes, cakes or whatever you wish, my Shelly Queen! :)

  11. 11 Ricki January 5, 2009 at 11:28 pm

    Oooh I cannot WAIT to try those out! The photo looks great. And I love the idea of “cheater green rice” ;) (Still sounds good to me).

    Mini-quiches were one of my favorites as a kid (my mom catered weddings and she made approx. 8 million in her day…) You’re such a tease for posting them!

    Mmm….I love vegan quiche! And I’m super excited about all the fun testing going on. That means we have awesome cookbooks to look forward too!

    On the yoga thing, I should practice more often but I couldn’t commit to everyday. My resolution (one of them anyway) is to work out five days a week. I was doing four days a week, but it doesn’t feel like enough. So I should maybe make one of those days a yoga now. I’m bad about not doing yoga and instead taking like boxing or something because I want to burn more calories. But inner peace is important too.

    How did I miss the boat on being a tester for this cookbook? Que je suis jalouse!

  15. 15 Celine January 6, 2009 at 8:58 am

    Yoga practice is one of my pseudo new years resolutions (I’m trying not to think of them that way so I’ll actually accomplish them).

    Mmmm quiche. I had to laugh about your cracking the egg comment :-)

  25. 25 mihl January 7, 2009 at 7:44 pm

    I just blogged about the awesomeness of Celine and Joni, too! Yay.

  26. 26 melisser January 8, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    Sounds like I should be testing those quiches! The husband loves quiche.
