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.

It was hot enough yesterday to feel as if it were mid-July, save the terrible pollen count. Walking around in the concrete jungle is the least desirable place with rising temperatures. I longed for my own backyard, fresh cut grass, a fired up grill and a cool breeze. Instead, I was sweaty, stuck in the stale air, surrounded by high rises. To cool me off, I decided to recreate a favorite dish when I got home. I wanted to channel my inner summer. For my family, potato salad … [Read more...]
