About

When I was a kid, we considered it a treat to have breakfast for dinner. My mom would make french toast, waffles, or scrambled eggs, and us kids would be in heaven. Mom worked full time in those days, so I’m sure it was her way of putting an easy dinner on the table.

Things haven’t changed for me. Life is busy, and I still think breakfast for dinner is a treat. Frittatas are a favorite, especially when they include healthy veggies and some creamy Swiss cheese.

Happy cooking!
