OK, I do eat more than pancakes. I enjoy eating a good egg – especially if I can make it a little different. Otherwise breakfast is so boring. So, here is how I make my version of a fritata. Most of us know how to scramble an egg. So do your scramble thing in a bowl. I eyeball the amount of milk to egg. My husband uses his RiceDream or fake milk stuff. Doesn’t much matter. I prefer milk though, but some of us cannot drink milk. (IF I can figure out a return on this WordPress blog or another paragraph it would help for reading!) Before putting your scrambled eggs in a pan… I saute about 1/2 of an onion, when sautéed add grated zucchini squash (or yellow). About 1 small squash to 3-4 eggs. Let cook with onions for a few minutes. Add the scrambled egg mixture. Stir a little. Turn heat to very low and put a lid on the small fry pan. Let cook until almost set. Sprinkle some feta cheese on top, cook for a few more minutes, and serve when eggs are set/done. I typically look in my refrigerator and find what is loose in the bin. If I have spinach I use that instead of squash but put it on after the eggs begin to cook. I have had times where I add leftover chicken and I suppose if you like other cooked meats you might add that too as well as other cheeses. It is all an experiment. Give it a try. Eggs go with so many things. What do you have in your produce bin today?
I love something different for breakfast! How about an easy egg fritata!

Nancy’s fritatas are a favorite! Sometimes if I get to the whisk task first, I add almond milk or hemp milk (both tasty alternatives to the bovine variety, as well as rice milk.)
I’ve also got a few favorite recipes on my blog, too! I’ve made granola for years, as well as fruit slaw (Nancy likes it when I leave more of the pineapple juice and add other liquids like a little honey and apple cider vinegar mixture… The tortilla soup is a newer favorite:
