I can’t take credit for these amazing bundles of eggy goodness. My sister-in-law introduced them to me and I always say, when you see or taste a good thing, there's nothing wrong with copying it! In fact, she had me work her frittata assembly line. She gave me the task of filling the tins with sun dried tomatoes, feta and spinach and then watched me carefully ladle the whisked eggs into each tin. After only 20 minutes in the oven, we “popped” out our mini frittatas, let them cool for about 5 minutes, and ate them with our hands like … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day: Kale Frittata
May 9, 2015 By 1 Comment
Mother’s Day was a big deal in my family when I was growing up. In retrospect, it's interesting that we attempted to “gift” my mother through a homemade meal.

It smelled like summertime in my apartment last week, and not because of the weather. I broiled Rib Eye steaks in the oven! Yes, that's right, there was no grill involved; it was my first time cooking a steak recipe, other than our celebrated Flank Steak recipe of Mom's, indoors. We're still in awe at how easy it was to make and I'm not quite sure why it took me so long (my entire life) to get up the courage to venture off the grill and into the oven for some steak. With just some Worcestershire Sauce, garlic butter, herbs and brown … [Read more...]
