Broccoli and Potato Frittata

Frittatas are great.  They are healthy, easy to make, and reheat reasonably well in the toaster oven.

Broccoli and Potato Frittata
adapted from McCormick

Ingredients
2 cups cubed potatoes (I used baby red)
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion (I used red onion)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (I always use kosher or sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 eggs
1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk, any kind will do)
1/2 cup chopped or sliced tomatoes
1/4 cup grated cheese (I used sharp cheddar, any kind that melts well is fine)

Directions
Put cubed potatoes in a saucepan.  Fill with enough cold water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat.  Cook until almost tender (about 6 minutes).  Add broccoli, cook 1 minute more.  Drain.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  I used a 10 inch All Clad stainless steel skillet and it worked well.  The skillet must be oven safe.  Add onion, cook for 5 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally.  Add cooked potatoes and broccoli to the skillet and reduce heat to medium low.


Mix oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.  Add eggs and milk, whisk until blended.  Pour mixture over vegetables.


Cook without stirring for 7-10 minutes until edges are set and middle is still jiggly.  The edges should look something like this.  


Top with tomatoes and shredded cheese.


Pop the pan under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the middle is set.  


Allow to cool for a few minutes.  Enjoy!

So Long, 1986 Kitchen

When we moved into this house, the kitchen was mostly functional, but ugly.  Our house was built in 1986, and the kitchen showed everything that the 80s had to offer by way of style.  Grainy oak cabinets, heavy hardware, beige laminate countertops, a white tile backsplash with little flowers painted on, and a weird tiny eat-in area that had been converted to a useless tile countertop that was impossible to keep clean.   In the three years that we have lived here, I complained about the ugliness of the kitchen approximately 8,888,888,888,888 times.  We discussed several iterations of this renovation ranging from taking down load-bearing walls, reconfiguring the layout, and gutting everything to just getting new cabinet hardware.  This winter, when we had a few months without too many commitments, we tackled the renovation.  Obviously, by we I mean that Jon did the bulk of the work, I complained about how many times I had to clean tile dust off th...

Peanut Sauce Spaghetti Squash Bowls

I know, it's been a while. Turns out wrangling three little boys doesn't leave a lot of time for recipe writing and food photos. We still eat, though, and pretty well! Mostly I share quick recipes and meals on my Facebook page At Home With Ann , so please follow me there! I love spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta. It's healthy, way lower in carbs and higher in vitamins.  It's also easier to prep than zucchini noodles, and I think it stands up to hearty sauces better.  I simply stab it with a sharp knife a few times, and roast it in a 400 degree oven for an hour, or until a knife easily slides through the skin.  Let cool, cut open, discard seeds and shred with a fork.  Spaghetti squash with meatballs is in our regular dinner rotation, but there is often a lot of leftover squash.  This easy vegetarian dish is a perfect quick dinner or lunch, and if your kids don't go for the peanut sauce, there is plenty of cut veggies for them to eat.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann.  Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos.  But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks.  I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself.   Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help.  See?  See?   But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia).  My reaction was typical.  This happens to other people.  Not my 33 year old sister who lives by the ocean, gets tons of fresh air and exercise, and eats healthier than anyone who has ever entered Whole...
