I discovered quiche Lorraine while studying French in high school. After trying many recipes over the years and being dissatisfied with each one I have put my own spin on this classic recipe that results in a crisp crust and tender custard. Serve this new quiche Lorraine with a side salad if desired. Bon appétit!

Mom's Best Macaroni Salad
This sweet macaroni salad is, by far, the best I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweet and tart and is so pretty, thanks to numerous multi-colored veggies. But be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table. I have 6 children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I make it.
Vegetarian Baked Ziti
Baked ziti is one of our family favorites; I developed this to serve at dinner when a good friend who is a vegetarian comes over.
