Hello! Greetings! Welcome to Quietly Curious’ first ever post all of its own. Lately Ben and I have been very much into baking our own breads and doughs.

Recipe: Leftover Christmas Ham & Cheddar Quiche
This post originally appeared at Rebel Angel. Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you all managed to get a bit of festive break, whether or not you were celebrating.
