Improv Frittata (recipe)

So tonight I ventured in to the world of cooking on the fly, a task I had not done in quite a while. The plan was to make frittatas, based on a combination of two recipes I'd seen. BUT, given my current forgetfulness brought on by a heavy dose of preggo brain, I kept forgetting to get the veggies needed for what I was attempting to make. Instead, I opened the fridge, and threw this together. I was nervous, but even my two-year-old daughter (Picky Ricky) ate a few bites.

Hashbrown, cheesy frittata

15-20 oz frozen southern style hash browns

1 tbs oil

1 carton Egg Beaters (16 oz)

1/2 c salsa

1/4 c bacon pieces

1/3 c finely chopped baby spinach

1/2 c + 3 tbs shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Warm skillet to medium heat, with ~1 tbs oil. Cook hash browns through for about 7 minutes. In the meantime, whisk together eggs, salsa, bacon bits, spinach, and cheese. Place cooked hash brown in thin layer on bottom of oven-safe dish, then pour egg mixture over. Cook in oven for 20 minutes. Pull out, set oven to broiler, sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over, and place back in oven. Broil 2-4 minutes, until golden bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing in to it.

**Since I was making this on the fly, most measurements are estimates. You may adjust accordingly, based on our tastes and desires.

Keep on saving! :o)

Getting Ready for the First Day of Kindergarten

Car Games for Kids

Morning car rides can be daunting if you’re not a morning person, and sometimes even if you ARE a morning person. Although I believe it’s perfectly ok to let your kids be bored, I also believe it’s important to use moments together wisely. So we tend to spend our morning car ride having conversations, and playing kids car games that help wake them up and keep them on their toes, AND it’s all done sans technology! Here I delve beyond “Punch-Buggy Charlie” and the license plate game for some good no-tech car games for kids. Car Games for Kids 20 Questions – We each take a turn coming up with a person, place, or thing. Then the other participants take turns asking yes or no questions to figure out what it is. If we figure it out before the 20th question, we win; if not, then the person answering the questions wins. This is a good exercise in making deductions and also figuring out good “category” questions.
