Create your own frittata

I don't like the texture of eggs, but I do like frittatas.  It's an open omelette and it's like a crustless quiche, I decided to try it.  I love to be creative when I make them, but I like my classic one.  You don't have to bake them you can cook it on the stovetop if you need to, which is what I did.

2 potatoes peeled and cut into slices

2 slabs of bacon 

1 cup of ham diced

1 cup cheddar cheese 1/2 cup grated and 1/2 sliced

1/2 red onions cut in julienne 

2 eggs 

1/2 buttermilk 

1/2 minced green onion

1. ) Cut up all the vegetables and meats.

2.) Put the eggs in a bowl. Add the buttermilk and green onions and add your cheese. Then pour it in the pan.

3. ) Cook on the stovetop it should take 15 mins to be completely cooked.  Add the grated cheese on top so it melts.

4.) Enjoy 😊

Taste of the island

This past weekend I was in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  I ate Mrs. Robbie's Kitchen.  It was American  & Jamaica cuisine.  To drink I had punch, it was the best punch I ever had and it wasn't that sweet.  For an appetizer I had crab cakes.  It came with avocado purée that was light.  It didn't taste like a greasy crab cake. For my main course I had a club sandwich it was good with a fried egg on top that made it even better. I was in Jamaica  for my cousin's wedding. The reception was at the Half Moon Resort.  The food was a 9 1/2.  At the reception dinner the food was amazing.  They had curried goat, rice & beans, dumplings and an incredible jerk chicken . The chicken wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. 

If you are in Jamaica  you should check out Mrs. Robbie's Kitchen
