Frittata: Secret Recipe Club

I am so excited to announce that I have become a member of the Secret Recipe Club!  This is where you cook a recipe from another blogger, secretly, then announce on your blog the recipe you made and how it all turned out!  What a fun group to be involved in and I was so excited to be included.

Served with toast, roasted veggies and the frittata: a complete meal!

This month I was assigned to the great blogger Wendy at A Day in the Life on the Farm.  She and her husband are retired police officers (I salute you!) and on retirement decided to buy a small farm.  She's a soul sister (she doesn't know that yet!) in that we both love locally sourced, slow food.  She has her own chicks, though, and I think that is super cool.  We are both big readers, too.

I checked out Wendy's recipe list, and whoa, she's done a lot of cooking!  It was hard to choose, but I am always on the lookout for a great breakfast recipe to share with my family, so this time I chose to try Wendy's Cherry Tomato, Mozzerella and Basil Frittata.  We have a load of cherry tomatoes and basil right now, so it was a perfect match!

You know we are a tailgating family, cheering on those Missouri Tigers, so I was so tempted to give this a go: Corn "Crack" Dip.  My husband has a love affair with sweet corn every summer.  Cannot wait to give this one a try, too!

The frittata was so easy to make.  I love one dish meals!  I served it as a breakfast for myself but it heated up beautifully for dinner.  The flavors are simple but so delicious!
