Zucchini, Onion and Bacon Tart and Spinach Soup

The Zucchini, Onion and Bacon Tart was pretty easy. I sauteed some onion and zucchini added cooked bacon and used some of the Pate Brise with pepper that I had in the freezer. I broke 2 eggs on top of the sauteed vegetables after they were on the pie crust. I folded the crust up and popped it in the oven. Dinner can't get simpler than that.

Of course I have this fear that there will never be enough food, I have no logical explanation for this feeling. So I made a soup! Spinach Soup! Yeah I think Chris went back for seconds... I found the recipe on a box of Ronzoni Ancini Di Pepe. One of these days I will tell you the story about my mom and the Ronzoni Brothers!
