yummy brunch! frittata with grilled apples

Weekends at our home are pretty relaxed as far as food goes. Brunch is a must and everyone loves it! Here is a pretty healthy option that even my picky eaters have grown to love!

Grilled Apples

sliced apples (1 per family member)
quick oats (I use about a half a cup for 5 apples)
brown sugar (I use 1/4 cup)
Cinnamon

mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl, heat up a griddle and add the mixture in one layer, so the apples cook evenly. Use a spatula to turn the apples to cook both sides and if you need more of the caramelized sauce add about a 1/4 cup of water to the griddle slowly.
Keep them in the griddle until the apples are soft and the sauce is sticky! YUM!


Frittata
(for 5)
10 eggs beat
2 cups of spinach
10 grape tomatoes or 5 cherry tomatoes cut in quarters

one large red onion sliced
1 cup of diced hash brown potatoes, thawed
salt and pepper
(i always add fresh cilantro or parsley too)
Parmesan cheese to top

mix all ingredients except Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. spray a large skillet and heat it up for a few seconds before adding the frittata mixture to the pan. Add the mixture, cover the skillet and cook it in LOW/MEDIUM heat until the eggs are set. Top it with parmesan cheese (fresh grated is best) and serve hot.


Doesn't this sound good? Now just add your favorite breakfast beverages, some whole grain toast, and you are off to a great start to your weekend! LOVE good food! It is a gift from the Earth to you:)
Thanks for reading

My Birthday Presents

About two weeks ago I turned 31. This is the first time I have actually written about it, so I must take a minute to let it soak in...



Okay, I'm good now.
Anyway, I wanted to share my birthday presents with you! I think they say a lot about where my interests are at this point in my life; Hope you like them...


Boots: I love these! They make me feel pretty and powerful all at once! Who does not need that every once in a while?


Book # 1: Beautiful book, I absolutely LOVE the ideas here!

Messenger Bag: Kohls rocks my world! This brand (AXCESS), is my favorite!


Real Simple Mag Subscription: If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know I was happy about this one...



JULIA, oh, JULIA!! The missing piece to my love affair with the movie and the book; So far I have only chopped veggies "Julia Style", didn't go so well but I will keep practicing!



Soldering Iron: I cannot wait to get started on some mixed media stuff with this heat machine!



Book #2: A while ago I had a post on this book. Beautiful and Inspiring, now it is mine:)

That is about it! I also had a really great dinner and a movie date with my partner in life and actually, that was the best part of it all! Hope your next birthday is wonderful! You deserve it!
