I am lucky enough to have a family that enjoys my cooking, or maybe they are lucky enough to have a daughter that loves to cook. Either way, my mom knows me well, so when she slid this recipe under my door this morning, she knew I would be making it, and she knew she would have a yummy, healthy breakfast waiting for her when she finished her call! This frittata was so simple, and was done before I knew it. I substituted tomatoes for peppers and just added them in a little bit later to avoid over cooking them. I love that this recipe has optional suggestions, because being creative is half the fun!
