A Month of Meals - Day 1


Menu: Spinach & Potato Frittata, Fresh Tomato Slices

Recipe:
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 small red potatoes, sliced
1 cup torn fresh spinach
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 teaspoon crushed garlic salt and pepper to taste
6 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, until tender but firm. Mix in spinach, green onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until eggs are firm.

Time Spent: 30 minutes start to table

Damages: Basically a one pot meal.
Pros: Winnie cleaned her bowl

Cons: We ate all of it, so there are no leftovers for tomorrow.
Final Review: We love quiche and I think this is just a faster version of the same thing. I'll probably make it again because it's one of those dishes where no recipe is required and you can use just about anything you have one hand.
