A Simple Breakfast Frittata

Almost every morning, I try to have breakfast.  For me, not only does it set the nutritional tone of the day, but it also has an impact on the day’s flow.  I don’t know exactly why, or if it’s just unique to me, but I find that if I’m rushed and frazzled through my breakfast routine, falling back on a few go-to items that I’m too hurried to enjoy, then I tend toward a more erratic day, almost as though a ripple effect is taking place.  That’s not to say that I can’t overcome it, I can.  It’s more of an observation, really.

Date Night Dinner: Grilled Kale Salad and Niçoise Toasts

After an entire day of laying hardwood floors in Elizabeth’s bedroom, I was pretty wiped out but still hungry for something different for our date night.  Laying on the couch to rest my sore back (if you’ve ever laid hardwoods, you know what I’m talking about!), I flipped through the July issue of Bon Appétit for some inspiration, hoping an idea for something quick and easy but still “knock-your-socks-off” delicious would hit me.
