First Recipe: Ham and Sausage Quiche

As promised, I am posting some of my favorite recipes.  It’s no secret that I love to cook.   I’ve always been amazed at how food brings people together and closer to each other. I also consider it therapy from stress. And I’m simply delighted at how tasty recipes turn out.  Here’s one of my recent recipes, which I served at a get together at our home in August 2007.  It was a great hit.  Hope this recipe also brings you and your friends together.  I hope you don’t mind the very amateur picture.  Took a picture of the recipe during the get together itself.  It’s a certified yum-yum.
