Where does the day go?

Seems like I have been busy all day but don't seem to have accomplished much.

Did get the chickens and ducks out of their coop on time.  Came back in the house to have my second cup of coffee. When I heard a knock on the door.  Not a loud knock but definitely a knock.  When I got to the door here stands a chicken on the front porch.  Guess she decided she needed to visit in the house. She did it a couple of times.  Silly girl.

Went grocery shopping while the kids were in Sunday School  so I thought that was a completed project.  Oh no, got home and realized that I had forgotten some of the ingredients for supper.

The kids sung at a local assisted living this afternoon with their Sunday School class.  So after the performance we stopped at the store again.

Made Ham and Cheese Frittatas for supper. Two out of three kids liked them.
When I make them again, I will add a little butter to the potatoes before I bake them the first time also I will bake them 15 minutes instead of 10.  They did not get crisp enough.  I did eliminate the peppers.

Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 spray(s) cooking spray
  • 1 pound(s) frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed and drained
  • 4 large egg(s), beaten
  • 1 Tbsp fat-free skim milk
  • ⅛ tsp table salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 oz cooked lean ham, finely chopped
  • ⅛ cup(s) sweet red pepper(s), finely chopped (2 Tbsp)
  • ⅛ cup(s) green pepper(s), finely chopped (2 Tbsp)
  • 2 Tbsp onion(s), finely chopped
  • ½ cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 8 muffin tin holes with cooking spray. Spread potatoes around bottom and press potato up sides of each muffin hole; place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat eggs and milk together in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add ham, peppers, onion and cheese to bowl; mix to combine.
  3. Remove potatoes from oven (after cooking for 10 minutes) and press potatoes down firmly with a spoon so that they are spread out like mini piecrusts (potatoes should cover bottom and sides of each hole). Pour about ¼ cup of egg mixture into the center of each muffin hole.
  4. Return pan to oven and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden, and the egg mixture is set, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit about 5 minutes before serving. Yields 1 frittata per serving.
  5. Frittatas can be made ahead of time and frozen in a plastic container. Remove one each evening and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Microwave for 30 seconds in the morning.


Hope you had a wonderful day.
