Grandma Beautiful’s Quiche

Grandma Beautiful's Quiche: A family recipe for crustless quiche that is quick and easy to put together and tastes delicious.Grandma Beautiful. Got your attention, didn’t I? You know how every grandma wants a special “name” for her grands to call her? Well, my mom is Grandma Beautiful, and Grandma Beautiful’s Quiche is as beautiful as she is!

Grandma-Beautiful
When our kids were little, my mother-in-law started calling herself “Grandma Dear.” My mom said that she needed a special grandma name, too, and, half-joking, suggested Grandma Beautiful. Well, the joke stuck, the name stuck and to this day, she is Grandma Beautiful. Even our neighbors call her that!

Grandma Beautiful's Quiche: A family recipe for crustless quiche that is quick and easy to put together and tastes delicious.Grandma Beautiful just goes around helping people. For example, she takes boxes of doughnuts to all the families with little kids in her neighborhood, not just once but basically every month.  She doesn’t do email (she says her email is “unlisted”) because it’s impersonal, but instead writes countless thank-you notes, sympathy cards and “I love you” notes on personalized stationery.

She makes friends with randoms on the street, and before they know it, they’re telling her their life story. She has a song for every occasion ( and I do mean EVERY) and will sing them liberally for all in range to hear. And she loves to feed people. Maybe that’s where I got it. Food is her love language, and, as it’s now harder for her to cook for people,  she takes friends to lunch pretty much on the daily.

No, it’s not the healthiest of dishes, or the prettiest. But it’s tasty and easy to make and is one of those tried-and-true-passed-down-from-generation-to-generation kind of dishes that most likely will stand the test of time. Three generations and going strong, this one is a keeper. Might as well bookmark it and put it with all your other family recipes now. It’s not going anywhere.

And next time you’re in the neighborhood, I’ll introduce you to your next best friend, Grandma Beautiful!
