365: Day 195


7/15/13: Another heat wave, another splash park.

*****

Cook's notes: I took a break from cooking on Sunday night, so I was ready to test out a new and easy frittata combo for dinner tonight. It was delicious, I will definitely make this again!


Frittata with Potatoes, Spinach and Goat Cheese

CATEGORIES
 vegetarian, breakfast

INGREDIENTS

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/4 cup chopped onions or shallots
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • Handful of fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced into “coins” (enough to cover the bottom of a 12" skillet)
    • 2 cups fresh Swiss chard or spinach, washed and roughly chopped
    • 8 eggs
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • freshly grated Parmesan or ricotta salata or goat cheese
    • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs (such as parsley, mint, or basil)

INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat broiler. In a large cast iron (or ovenproof) skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, salt and pepper and cook about 1 minute being careful to nestle the garlic in the onions so it doesn’t burn. Add potatoes and cook another 5 minutes until they are crispy and mostly cooked through. Add chard/spinach to the pan and stir until leaves wilt. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk and herbs. Pour eggs into the pan and stir lightly to make sure chard and potatoes are evenly distributed. Let cook without stirring about 2 minutes. Top with cheese of choice before transferring to the oven and broil until eggs are cooked on top, 2-3 minutes. Cut into pizza-like wedges.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor...

We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...
