A-Z Foodie Monday

Q,,
as Jen so eloquently stated..
she's NOT in a Quandry for a Q food..
and neither am I ..
Being a seafood lover, gifts from the sea rate very high with me!
Quahogs are clams..only larger.

They can be prepared in a variety of ways,including stews, broths,as well as baked.

 Personally, I find this delicacy a bit too tough for me.
And then there's Quince,,

a strange lumpy yellow fruit from  the apple family..
combined/mixed with apples, it is said to make into a fabulously tart pie..

Or delicious jam..

I prefer another type of Pie..
well it resembles a pie..
and is just as delicious..
and can be made from a variety of ingredients..
basically, eggs, cheeses,meats and vegetables..
and a perfect food for Ladies Luncheons .
or whenever the occasion demands..
Quiche..

QUICHE LORRAINE - 
Maybe not a true French classic, but delicious nonetheless! Fill a flaky pie crust with crispy bacon, Swiss or cheddar cheese, caramelized onions,eggs, cream and fresh herbs and bake it to perfection. Quiche Lorraine - perfect anytime!

VEGETARIAN QUICHE -
 Veggie quiche with garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheddar, cream,eggs & fresh herbs in flaky pie crust. Vary the veggies & invent a new vegetarian quiche!

SPINACH, GARLIC & FETA QUICHE - 
Savory quiche with spinach, garlic & onions, crumbled feta and fresh herbs, overflowing in a flaky pie crust baked to a puffy, golden brown. Make a large deep dish quiche or make and serve mini quiche at your next brunch!

CHICKEN & CHEDDAR QUICHE - 
Do real men eat quiche? They'll love this tasty chicken & cheese quiche, loaded with chicken, onions & garlic, cheddar cheese spiced with poultry seasoning. Elegant enough for a party, but hearty enough for a real man!

BROCCOLI, HAM & CHEESE QUICHE -
Fill the flakiest pie crust with basic quiche ingredients; eggs, cheese, cream, broccoli, ham and onions, and what do you have? The best Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Quiche ever! Easy broccoli quiche - It's what's for brunch!


And lastly,dessert..the fabulous Queen Cake...

.. which is basically a yellow cake with fruit and nuts baked into the batter.
The filling between the layers is again a mixture of fruits and nuts with preserves.
The icing.. Sweet butter Creme .
.an old tried and true combination of sweetened condensed milk, butter and powdered confectioners sugar, and vanilla flavoring.
Now..am so hungry..I might just have a Quick bite of something from Quaker's..oatmeal or cereal!
Please join all the others at Jen's Unglazed for more Q foods!
