Italian Sausage, Kale + Zucchini Quiche


I am always experimenting with quiche recipes.  Quiches are so easy to make and filling.  I think this may be my best recipe yet.  It is filled with spicy Italian Sausage, lots of Grueyere cheese and plenty of greens in the form of kale and zuchinni.  The combo is really fantastic.  You won't be disappointed, it is super flavorful.
Also I am starting something new on my cooking posts, at the bottom of each post I will link to all the tools I used to make my meal.  I get a lot of requests for what cooking tools I use and love,  this way you can see what I am actually cooking with!
Enjoy!


|| I T A L I A N   S A U S A G E + K A L E  Z U C C H I N I  Q U I C H E ||

- 1 Pie Crust
- 1 lb hot Italian sausage browned
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1.5 cups baby kale
- 1/2 large white onion sliced thinly
- 1 small zucchini sliced
- 2 cups Gruyere
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cook pie shell 10 mins.  Remove from oven and cool.

Brown sausage and drain off all fat.  I like to place on a plate with paper towels to soak up the grease.  In the same pan you cooked the sausage in, add a little olive oil and saute onions and zucchini about 5-7 mins.  Then add in kale and sun dried tomatoes, cook just until kale is wilted.  Remove from heat and stir in browned sausage.  In a separate bowl whisk 6 eggs with flour, baking soda, and salt and pepper.  Stir in sausage mixture until combined well.  Finally stir in cheese.   Pour mixture into cooled pie crust.  Bake at 350 degrees about 30-40 minutes.  This can be made ahead and save well in the fridge foe a few days.

Obsessions

I love anything with a palm print on it. These shorts are too cute and the price is awesome.  I live in my shorts in the summer with a cute tee or tank.

|| Mother The Looker Skinny Jeans ||
These are some of my favorite new jeans and they are on sale now.  I bought them post baby and they really suck you in and the wash is great, plus they are super comfortable.  They run on the large side so order down a size if you are unsure.  I wear mine all the time.  Also just marked down are the JBrand Maria High Rise, my other favorite post baby jeans.

I am swooning over this new RT maxi.  Love the boho feel and pattern.

Such a great neutral dress for Summer!

These sandals just got marked down on Shopbop.  I love the
black/tan combo. Also available in hot melon color.


Through tonight JCrew is offering 30% off a lot of the baby stuff.  I love these skirted one piece outfits, so adorable.  Use code WEEKEND at checkout.  Also love this embroidered two piece outfit.


I have this cami in the green color and love it.  It is such a great versatile cami.  It is great alone or  layered under a blazer, sweater or jacket. The green is such a flattering color in person.

I am head over heels in love with this rattan cocktail set.  It is absolutely perfect for Summer entertaining.  It comes with the glasses and tray.  Would be an adorable gift too.

Such a great tee shirt dress.  I would toss this on with flip flops for a cute Summer outfit.
Mark my words this will be my next purse.  It is pretty much perfection in a purse.
and if you want a leopard cross body, this Tory Burch just got marked down, I really love it!

This is such a great tee shirt, the color palette is so pretty.  Great with jeans or shorts.


I have been wanting this watch and now it is 40% off!  The bands come in so many different colors.  I love that the strap is thin so you can layer some bracelets with it.

Working on My Fitness Part 2


Thank you for all the great feedback last week and suggestions!  I am happy to report I took action this week and got up early and ran two mornings.  It was such a good feeling to have my workout done for the day!
If you are in the market for new running shoes I love my New Balance 890 shoes.  They are super awesome.  They are lightweight but still offer plenty of support!



I wore one of my new favorite Zella outfits.  Lately I have been a big fan of the exercise skirt.  Sometimes I have a hard time finding shorts to run in that don't ride up so I end up in either leggings or a skirt. I like the idea of the skirt because it makes such a cute outfit for those days even when you don't workout!


I love the streamline fit of the tee shirt, it really sucks you in.  It comes in a bunch of different colors, but I always love a black workout tee.


 and of course you need an action shot:)  But in all seriousness I love the side rouching on the skirt.  The skirt is super comfortable too.


A great outfit for working out (or not).


Best part is Nordstrom marked down a ton of the Zella stuff as part of their semi-annual sale.  Scroll thru to see some of my favorites.  I ordered two more of my favorite tank top.

NDM Styles: Favorite Summer Outfit + Nordstrom Sale

I know you all have that standard go to outfit.  For me during the Summer it is jean shorts and a tee shirt or blouse.  That is what I wear almost daily. 



I fell in love with the pattern on this Equipment Blouse.  It is the perfect floral for Summer.  I find my self tossing it on with everything from jean shorts to white jeans.


The Gorjana Necklace is one of my new favorites. It is a great everyday necklace.  If you signup with your email on their site you can get 15% off your order. 


The jeans shorts are pretty much my most favorite pair ever, so comfy!  They run on the large side so order down a size!  I know they are on the expensive side but I do believe in quality over quantity.  I don't buy shorts often and I really feel like Rag and Bone jeans are just are great fit.  


There you have my standard day to day outfit. No lie last week I wore this outfit three times ( I was seeing different people in my defense).  Shop the whole look below.
