Asparagus-Potato Frittata

Although I've been feeling so 'out of it' and not really in the mood for driving, grocery shopping, and...especially cooking, due to not feeling my best with the bandage on my forehead to cover and protect the 'skin cancer surgery'...and taking strong antibiotics is not my favorite thing at all. I finally had the stitches removed and now I'm on my way to healing with a slight scar about 1 1/2 inches which will fade in time. I scheduled for my next surgery appointment  a month away!

When you know you have a dozen eggs in your fridge...actually, you only need 8, have onions, and some kind of fresh veggies, you could whip up a frittata in no time, at all!

I really do not need a recipe for this simple frittata, but I got inspired by Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine...sad to say, is no longer in circulation. Again...I swapped the vegetables and omitted the jalapeno peppers which I did not have, but no worries...if you want it spicy, you can use chili pepper flakes for a spicier flavor. Recipe also calls for fresh corn kernels (you can use frozen)...I used diced potatoes, instead...otherwise, you can be creative and add veggies of your choice! Click on the link, for the recipe!
SPICY ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

The next day, I still had a lot of leftovers and had a yummy cold frittata sandwich for lunch. Some people do not like cold eggs...but as for me; I love cold hard boiled eggs, or a frittata (fried-scrambled eggs) especially on simple, fresh whole wheat bread.
My poor little kitty, Mush has found a little 'me space' which I usually have it stacked with cook books and some novels, and just stared out at me feeling left out, while I am finishing my post.
Pets can pick up on your 'moods' and feelings. Poor baby has felt neglected all week long...or is she just watching the red ribbons protruding from the book?...most likely. She is such a comfort, so sweet and delicate little thing, and oh, so 'finicky'...just like most female cats are. (she still misses Prince, can't believe its been already over one year that he had to be put down...sigh!)

I really appreciate all your caring and friendship; if I neglected to comment on your blog...I will try to catch up visiting and commenting, and as for my posts; I need to step that up, as well and post at least twice a week. Take care, and Hugs to all!

    Oh my! I didn't know you were sick. I understand why you don't feel up to your usual routine. I hope you are feeling better in no time and that your cat feels good too. They really do pick up on when we are not feeling well. I think she would like a cuddle. Hugs. xx

    Frittata is a life saving dish! Yours looks mouthwatering. Great idea of using leftover to make the sandwiches for the lunch.

    The pouting Mush looks sweet too.
    I wish a speedy recovery, Elisabeth.

    Elisabeth, first of all forgive me for such a late visit on your blog. I was on short sort of holidays and was so busy I even didn't have time to open my laptop! I'm glad your surgery went well. I hope the scar will heal pefectly too.
    Your frittata looks wonderful and making a frittata sandwich is such a wonderful idea to use up leftovers. It reminds me of omelet sandwiches they sell in a temporary outdoors bar in my city.

    Elisabeth, remélem most már egy kicsit jobban vagy, most ne törődj mással, a blogokkal, csak magaddal, hogy meggyógyulj:) Én szorítok érted:)
    Nagyon szeretem én is a rántottát, így még nem készítettem, de fincsi lehet:) A kiscisád is nagyon aranyos, bár én inkább kutya-párti vagyok:)

    Sorry about the skin ca Elisabeth :(, we all seem to get those here in Australia, I had a skin lesion removed recently as well.

    Your sweet little kitty made me smile hiding like that, so cute! And I love frittata but never thought to use the leftovers in a sandwich, that's a great idea.

    Feel better soon lovely :)
