Quick & Easy Breakfast: Frittata

So I woke up this morning feeling rested. Yesterday I felt like I was going to get sick, but this morning it seemed like it might have all been a tease. Turns out I was wrong. Very wrong.

All I want to do is lie in bed and watch TV, read do nothing. Yet I have to study. I have a midterm on Tuesday and a couple of things due before Spring Break--about which I will blog in a future post.

Anyways, it's time to take a break and what better way than to blog about my breakfast from when I was feeling fine. Oh and after this short post, I am putting my pajamas on and (hopefully) crawling into bed.

But before that let me tell you what a big fan I'm of frittatas. They're super easy and quick to make. Also, you can basically add any veggie or herb and play around with the taste; add some cheese and it becomes a heavenly dish. Enjoy!
