Hello everyone! Guess what today’s recipe is about?

Squash! Of course. This is their season. So we need to make the most out of it. At least that’s how I feel.

My experience with squash and pumpkins is that they have a lot of potential to turn pretty much anyone into big fans. Well, it surely got me. Quite incredible, that back in the days I rarely ate those.

After making pumpkin ravioli with brown butter-sage-pancetta sauce, now this is the turn of a quiche. You know, there is something about quiche. I have never made so many before, like in the past year or two. I slowly developed my own way of preparing it, while keeping it quick and simple. And it quickly turned into one of my main work-lunch-recipes. For several reasons. It’s easy to make and serves well as a light dinner together with a salad. The leftovers (quite a bit!) end up in the freezer. Which is enough for at least four lunch-boxes for work :) 

Whatever can make my life easier during the week, is worth a try! And this is one of them. Another thing that I’ve been trying to work on, is my weekly meal plan. I’ve been meaning to do that for a while. And now I can proudly say that I have finally made my very first plan!

Let me tell you, once I got the list ready, it felt like a big relief. Basically I set up a plan for the upcoming week, followed by a grocery shopping list. That should help preventing that desperate super-last-minute-evening-shopping. And I already notice the difference. 

One of the main benefits is that it helps me get an overview in advance of the time that it’ll take me to prepare the meals. That’s the best way to avoid those moments when I plan to spend only half an hour cooking, and then I end up leaving the kitchen two hours later. Ever been there?? ;)

OK, so that being said, it’s already Saturday. Let me get started with next week’s meal plan!

Do you also plan ahead? Would love to hear how it’s been working for you!

Happy weekend!
