Frittata

Summer has arrived, my refrigerators are filled,  food consumption is way up there. The boys are eating like crazy, they are starved from the beach and their Crossfit workouts. I am thrilled. This is when I am happiest. Kids, friends, noise and sleeping bodies casually draped on couches as the teenagers crash at each other's houses.

I am out early tomorrow exercising then working,  so I have made a frittata for the crew for the morning. Easy to make, delicious and beautiful too.

This one for the boys I made simply as they like.  You can make a frittata with all kinds of different herbs, cheeses and vegetables.

I had leftover roasted sweet potatoes and Yukon Golds. I sliced up the potatoes into a small dice,
added Applegate organic chicken and sage sausage, diced as well and  mixed them into 12 beaten eggs and added salt and pepper with some fresh mozzarella.

I Cook it on the stove top til it sets then put in a preheated oven at 425* for approx 15 minutes. When the top is firm and and set with a beautiful light brown coloring, it is done. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting into. Great for breakfast, lunch or a romantic dinner in bed with a glass of wine.
To summer- xo ginny
