I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Ham and Vegetable Frittata

2 sprays cooking spray
1 lb. frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
4 large eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. skim milk
2 dashes Tobasco (or to taste)
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 oz. cooked lean ham, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. sweet red pepper, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. green pepper, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. onion, finely chopped
½ cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8 muffin tin holes with cooking spray. Spread potatoes around bottom and press potato up sides of each muffin cup. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs and milk together. Add remaining ingredients. Remove potatoes from oven and press down firmly with spoon so they cover bottom and sides of each cup. Pour about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into the center of each muffin. Return pan to oven and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden and the egg mixture is set, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest about 5 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings, 2 W.W. points per serving. 

Make a batch of these on the weekend and you've got breakfast ready all week. Just warm in the microwave a few seconds. They also freeze well. When cool, remove from muffin tin and freeze on a tray. Store in ziplock bag when frozen. Just remove from freezer and warm in microwave 1 to 1 ½ minutes. These are also good with salsa.
