Today I decided to cook something nice for myself. Since it's so hard to cook for one, I tend to avoid cooking for myself, but sometimes I just have to get into the kitchen! I've had a craving for quiche lately (thanks to reading the Julie/Julia Project blog) so I decided to make one. I used Julia Child's pastry recipe, albeit slightly modified (I can't get shortening here so I only used butter) and made a bacon and onion quiche for dinner. Bliss!
On the side was some spinach. I simply cooked some frozen spinach leaves in the same skillet that held the bacon and onions (instant flavor!), sprinkled on some salt, and added a teensy bit of freshly ground nutmeg. It was the perfect accompaniment.
There you have it. I had a "take care of myself" day and made a lovely dinner. It was undoubtedly chock full of saturated fats, but it was delicious! I took some pictures of the quiche but the lighting was all wrong.
Anyone else have a favorite Dinner for One? If you're dining solo, what do you normally eat?

Have to admit, going back to childhood, and still my fav 1 person meal. Hot cream of tomatoe soup, and a grilled cheese sandwitch.
Oh---that sounds delicious!!!!
I'll have to make that some day. I cook for two, so it's the same issue--making too much (I swear, I want to invite all the neighbours over for dinner to finish what I make! LOL!).
And I LOOOOOVE spinach!
