I love eggs but sometimes the same old scramble gets kind of boring. This is when my family turns to the beloved frittata. Making a frittata is easy, can be made a million ways, can feed a crowd, and makes eggs exciting again! Here is one of my favorite frittata recipes: 6 bacon strips 1 diced red …

Brussel Sprouts for Breakfast and Red Curry for Dinner
I recently had someone ask a question about Brussel Sprouts and wanted recipe ideas. Brussel sprouts tend to be one of those veggies with a very bad reputation, and I admit, I used to loathe the thought of eating the miniature cabbages – but I have truly grown to love them and yes, my kids …
