Another month has rolled by and its yet again time for another installment of Secret Recipe Club (#SRC for short).
This month I was assigned to the blog Cooking Whims and its talented author, cook and baker, Megan. Megan is a up and coming young blogger who originally started her blog in 2009. At it's original conception Megan's blog was called Baking Whims because she was a member of a baking group with a bunch of friends. Over time as Megan became more comfortable in the world of savory cooking, Megan changed her blogs name to Cooking Whims and the rest is history 🙂
I chose Megan's recipe for Pumpkin and Spinach Quiche and adapted it ever so slightly with the addition of bacon (everything is better with bacon) and a dash of nutmeg. Other than that, the recipe remains just as Megan had intended.

Yield: 1 quiche Prep Time: 10 minutes Bake Time: 60 minutes
