Recipes from today (just for fun):
Red Pepper, Mushroom, Spinach Frittata
* 8 large eggs
* 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
* 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
* 4 cups baby spinach
* 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles
* 1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped
* 1/4 cup basil, roughy chopped
* 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 tsp coarse salt
* 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
* parmesan shavings for garnish
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, a pinch of salt, pepper, basil and parsley.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and saute 3 minutes. Add the garlic and red bell pepper; saute 3 more minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute 3 more minutes. Add the spinach to wilt. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies, until it has covered the whole skillet. Add the goat cheese and let eggs cook for a good 4 minutes, then move the skillet to the oven and let it sit under the broiler for a few more minutes, until the eggs are cooked and set.
Let cool 3 minutes, garnish with parmesan, slice and serve!

Broasted Potatoes (My dad's recipe)
*Potatoes
*1/2 cup oil
*2 tbsp Parmesean cheese
*1 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp paprika
*1/2 tsp garlic powder
*1/4 tsp black pepper
Wash Potatoes. Cut into wedges. Arrange on baking sheet (skin side down).
Mix together oil, cheese, and spices. Brush spice mixture onto potatoes.
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Brush spices/oil on a few times while baking.
(today, I cut the potatoes into small squares, tossed them with the spice mixture, and spread them in an even layer over the bottom of a large glass pan)
