Quiche saved my butt when Lulu and I first got home from the hospital. Actually, it probably helped to widen it, but…
I discovered that quiche is the perfect food to have around when the milk production starts. I had no idea how voraciously starving I was going to be during the first few days. Every time I fed Lulu, I was famished afterwards. I ate a lot of almonds and apricots, a great means of protein and energy, but the real, quick go-to food to grab at 3:45 AM was some quiche that my mom had bought at a local grocery and put in the fridge. With the eggs and cheese, it made for an excellent source of protein and fats.
What made the quiche particularly great is that it’s easy to cut and plate a piece, pop it in the microwave and then scarf down, all with one hand (the other arm obviously being occupied holding a newborn!).
