Spinach Quiche

Meredith and Ryan's air conditioner broke last week, soooooo while waiting for a new one to be installed tomorrow . . . and it is like an oven outside. . . they stayed with us Friday night. Ryan had pizza for lunch . . . bummer for us . . . so we had this spinach quiche - an old favorite of my kids - with sliced tomatoes. Pretty darn good summer dinner.
