A spring fling...

via honeyoftheheart on Polyvore

I have been dying for a bit of inspiration lately.  Enter Polyvore. My love for this site continues to grow.  It has 
helped to inspire a bit of creativity that I have been lacking lately. It's so fun to create looks and mix and match thousands of items.  I'm not gonna lie, it's slightly addictive, but if this dream world inspires my 
creativity then I will happily deal with the ins and outs of this, so far incurable, addiction.

This little diddy has me dreaming of warmer weather and pretty pastels which I'm loving for spring.  Pretty in pink 
lips, gold accessories, flirty dress and a neutral heel make for the perfect attire for a spring fling.  

...

I must be dreaming...this dress is Valentino. I die.

mini frittatas

The weekend is meant for second cups of coffee, hanging out in your pajamas until the last possible moment, and of course, a scrumptious breakfast.  The idea of manual labor in the kitchen to accomplish the latter didn’t really appeal to me this weekend.  So I decided to use some of my leftover roasted veggies from the night before, add some egg, and bake. Mini frittatas.   
Breakfast just got fancy.

Mini Frittatas
makes 12

Leftover roasted veggies 
(I made a mix of carrots, green peppers, sweet potatoes, broccoli, garlic and rosemary)
Bacon bits
8 eggs
Pepper
Butter or olive oil
Muffin tin


1.     Preheat oven to 350°F

2.     Use butter of olive oil to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan

3.     Cut up the leftover veggies into smaller pieces and distribute veggies evenly in muffin tin

4.     Add bacon bits

5.     Beat eggs in a bowl (add pepper and a splash of water – this helps them get fluffy)

6.     Pour the eggs slowly into muffin tin – leave a bit of room for the eggs to fluff up

7.     Bake for 17-20 minutes

Wait. It gets better. Your leftovers can be either frozen or placed in the fridge, so you can enjoy the fruits eggs of your labor for a few more mornings to come.  


Enjoy!
