Great Uncle Quiche Lorraine

By Mallory Barendregt

Hi! I’m Mallory Barendregt, I am married to my wonderful Dutch Canadian husband of almost 10 years and we have 4 kids with 1 on the way! We live in Moscow, Idaho and just love it so much. I love to sew little girls clothes and have been known to dabble in other crafts as long as they involve fun fabric. I like to make(and eat!)  yummy baked goods on occasion and here are some of my favorites!
