Frittata

Oh my gracious, y'all. I have had the hardest time making myself sit down, upload photos, go through said photos, reupload them back onto blogger, then type out everything. I decided to try taking pictures with my relatively new iphone and then use google+ to transfer them here. We'll see how that goes and if it makes it easier to keep up with my little recipe box. My posts might be sporadic but at least they are delicious!!

Introducing: Breakfast Frittata, a staple in our home because it is super easy to make and anything can go in it :) It's an open faced omlette which means no flipping, folding or complicated maneuvers. In this frittata I have leftover rosemary-onion roasted potatoes from the night before, spinach, frozen broccoli and onion. Usually the red potatoes are what remind me about frittatas "ohhh these would be so good in an omlette tomorrow morning!" 


The main ingredients you have to have are:
- 6 eggs (for the 3 of us works great but always add more/less for the group of people you're feeding)
- Splash of milk
- S&P
- Whatever veggies or meats you want to add in.

Saute the veggies/meat in a non stick pan. Then whisk the eggs up and throw it into the pan. Leave it alone until the edges are starting to set up and then stick it into a 350 oven until the eggs are set up all over - usually 10 minutes but depends on how many eggs you have. The top will not brown (if you have cheese on top and want it browned then try broiling it for a few minutes.)
*side note: I'm not sure my pan is an "oven safe" pan since it has a squishy handle so I wrap the handle in foil (thanks RR!) and it's totally fine!*
 Then just slide your frittata out of the pan, slice it up like a pizza and serve. I love to serve mine with pico de gallo up top but was out of that this week so added feta cheese - delicious! We used to add cheddar cheese to the top when baking it but LB is dairy-free now so we have to add it afterwards.

A New Perspective

Put plain and simply: I have neglected my poor cooking blog :( 

BUT, no more!

I have still been trying new recipes and entertaining friends and family. I've just stopped taking pictures and carving out time to put them up along with recipes. I thought long and hard about how best to approach this and I think I've come up with something that will help me and maybe get some good recipes out there...

I think I will write this blog for me.

Eh?

Yeah, I think I was trying too hard to write like a food writer. I tried being witty, telling a story, blah blah blah. I was bit upset when no one really came to read or leave comments and you know what? Shame on me. Because I really started this blog for me: To keep track of recipes made, ones I don't want to lose, ones that were disasters (though I've yet to post one of those yet!) 

So I am taking on a new perspective. I will treat this blog like it is mine, since it is, and write for me and keep this as my online cook book that I can share with the world ;-) 

Enough with the words, let's get cooking! I'm going to make up a pork dumpling recipe tonight so I'll take pictures and hopefully get that up later tonight or by tomorrow!
