In the kitchen

{Frittata of rice, baby zucchini and feta cheese}






















The frittata is a seasonal favorite of mine.  Fresh eggs, herbs and cheese, and tossed rice or pasta, need I say more?  It's one of those dishes you can make your own, with any favorite vegetable or cheese. For this one the recipe is simple.
