Quiche is one of the ultimate foods: you can basically use whatever ingredients you have, it’s great for any meal, it can be used at parties, and it’s also really yummy.
Note: I used a store-bought crust, but feel free to make your own if you’re feeling adventurous.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch store-bought pie shell
- 1/2 lb ground sausage, uncooked
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced broccoli
- 1/3 cup diced bell pepper
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk, cream, or half & half
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Partially blind bake your crust by baking it in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until just slightly browned. Remove from the oven.
- In a medium skillet, cook the sausage until fully browned (break it up into small pieces while it cooks with a wooden spoon).
- Remove the sausage from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
- In the same pan, add the onion, broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slighty.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper, and cheese until combined. Add the sausage and vegetable mix to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for 35-40 minutes until the middle is set and the top is slightly golden.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

What better way to keep the kiddos entertained than to keep them learning! Help prevent summer learning loss with these 10 easy science projects.
Summer Science Projects
Wading Pool Ecosystem
My favorite science project of all time is creating your own backyard ecosystem. All that’s needed is a kiddy pool and a trip to a local pond.
A basic set up looks something like this:
Fill the pool with 5-6 inches of water.
Make an island in your pool using big rocks, plants and sand.
Find floating plants to help oxidize your pool
Add tadpoles, frogs, minnows, turtles and anything else you find.
*Note – if possums, raccoons, and cats are common in your area build a lid for your pool to keep intruders out at night.
Gardening
This doesn’t seem like your classic science project, but you can learn a lot with a summer of gardening. Kids will learn about the life cycles of plants, what grows in each season, and enjoy the rewards of their first harvest. This is another project that can last all year long!
Composting
Composting goes hand-in-hand with gardening and can really be three projects in one. Project one: build your compost bin. Project two: maintaining your compost piles. Project three: transferring your compost humus (that’s what the pros call it) to your garden.
Paper Airplane Contest
Invite over your kids’ friends, make your own rules, and let the games begin. Research different folding styles and mess with launch points to see who makes the most aerodynamic vessel.
Stride Ruler
This is a fun one for the math-minded child in your family. Measure any distance using your footsteps as a ruler.
Here’s how:
Take ten step where your heel and toe are touching (baby steps).
Measure that distance, then divide it by 10 to find an average step measurement.
Use that one step measurement at your stride ruler.
Now you can measure any distance in steps and multiply it by your one step measurement.
Dry Ice Volcano
Ditch the classic baking soda and vinegar for a smoky alternative. Fill your volcano with hot water, add a few chunks of dry ice, and enjoy the show.
An important difference in this style of volcano is everything must be sealed. Once dry ice starts bubbling, it will escape anywhere it can find. Use some sort of sealant on any problems areas, especially the bottom!

Homemade Lava Lamp
Add water, vegetable oil, food coloring, and an Alka-Seltzer tablet and see what happens. To keep the lava flowing, add another tablet. Shining a light through the bottle will make it glow and look like a real lava lamp. Further instructions from ScienceBob.
Build A Rocket
I’m not sure how to do this out of household materials, but Amazon has some great kits. This one will take some research and dedication but sounds like a lot of fun.
Egg In A Bottle
This is a very quick one. Create a vacuum in a glass bottle to pull in hard boiled egg that would normally not fit. There are two ways to do this:
Fill the bottle with hot water, place the peeled egg on top and watch it fall in after a few seconds.
OR light 3-4 inches of newspaper on fire and drop it into the bottle. Place the egg on top (which will put out the fire).
As the air inside the bottle cools, it compresses pulling egg inside. A fun way to teach about air pressure during breakfast!
How Strong is Spaghetti?
Put your sales shopping to good use! Grab a box of spaghetti and start experimenting. You will need blocks, books, and Styrofoam. You can go here for the full instructions.
