For dinner last night I made a yummy frittata and added some yams to it. Oh it was so good! When you saute the yams it brings out their sweetness and adds a ton of flavor. I also added in a few fresh basil leaves snipped into skinny slices that really made this frittata come to life.
Paired with a simple fuit salad of pears, watermelon, canteloupe and strawberries…YUMMMO and easy!
Here is the recipe for the Spinach Frittata and I added in half of a large yam cut into small cubes. I sauteed it in oil first an then followed the rest of the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into thin
matchsticks
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 bag fresh spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large leaves of fresh basil
1/2 of one large yam
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/2 of 1 Yam cubed until browned and then and stir red pepper and onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
2.
Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl until smooth; add spinach, mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to mix evenly; pour into the skillet.
3.
Place a cover on the skillet and cook until the egg mixture is completely set in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
