Muffin Frittatas

Ingredients

* 6 eggs
* 1/2 cup milk - I left this out and it turned out fine.
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
* 3/4 cup cooked potatoes
* 1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
* 1/4 cup chopped spinach

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper in medium bowl until blended. Add cheese, potatoes, bell pepper and spinach; mix well. Spoon evenly into 12 greased muffin cups, about 1/4 cup each. - I made them it with 1/2 C. mixture in 4 of the Big muffin tin. It took about 10 minutes longer to bake.

2. Bake in 350 degrees F oven until just set, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool on rack 5 minutes. Remove from cups; serve warm.

Wilted Spinach

I have a hard time getting Jeremy to eat anything green and leafy but he will eat this so I try to make it a few times a month.

What you need:
1 bag of spinach
4 strips of bacon - diced
1/4 of a sweet onion - diced

In a saute pan cook up your bacon pieces and onion over low heat. After they are all cooked rinse your spinach and add it to your saute pan. Stir quickly until the bacon and onion are mixed throughout the spinach. I let this saute for about 2 -3 minutes and then serve it hot.

crockpot oatmeal

A couple of my friends have made this and so I decided I would make this tonight for tomorrow morning. It is supposed to snow tonight so I thought a nice warm breakfast for Jeremy and I sounded wonderful! Be sure to spray your crockpot - I did not and parts of the oatmeal stuck to the bottom of the crock.

Crockpot Oatmeal Recipe

* 2 cups steel cut oats (not instant or rolled oats)
* 6-8 cups water, depending on how long the oatmeal will cook
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 2 apples, peeled and diced
* 1 cup raisins - I USED CRASINS but I am sure you can use any dried fruit.


* 1 cup sliced bananas
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Spray crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. If you're planning to cook the oatmeal 8 hours or longer, use 8 cups of water. If you want to cook it less than 8 hours, use 6 cups of water. Put first seven ingredients (through raisins) in slow cooker and cook on low. Just before serving, Stir in bananas and walnuts. Sprinkle with additional brown sugar if desired.

Serves 8.
