Although we can’t  spend our weekends with friends and family, I still look forward to the weekends. Weekdays are hectic, while the weekends are now fully for relaxation. Sunday Tea time is something to look forward to and we usually bake something sweet. But this week I’m doing something savoury.

I haven’t had a quiche in ages and have really been craving a slice! I decided to make this simple Rosemary Chicken and Mushroom quiche recipe and it turned out so delicious.
