Anthropologie

In the spring, we were at the mall in Buffalo, I got to visit my favourite store!

ANTHROPOLOGIE

I was first introduced to it by my bosses from the little, white, home decor shop I use to work at. I was visiting NYC for the 1st time, and it was on my list of 'must do's' while there. It is a really eclectic shop...trendy yet still kinda 'earthy' in some ways too...unique items and defienitely the BEST hardware (knobs, drawer pulls) for your furniture.

The first two pictures below were from my first visit to an NYC Anthropologie back in November of 2007.

Hundreds of snowflakes hand cut
from NYC subway maps!

Igloo made from milk or water jugs...so cool

All I have to say is...you must also visit when when you are near!!

This picture is from this past spring...can you tell what they used to create the window?? It's an ocean theme....

I see mop heads, coffee filters, straws, coloured paper and melted plastic spoons...

What do you see???

Mop heads, coffee filters and plastic cutlery

If you are close by to an Anthropologie, snap a pic and send it my way!!

Breakfast for Dinner!

Last year when I was visiting The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, I visited the Ontario Egg Farmers booth. On their table were all sorts of interesting facts about eggs. They also had these recipe cards with a small package of seasonings attached to it, I grabbed a couple of them to try, they were for Mini Frittatas.

Once home, I unpacked the recipe card and put it in the cupboard...well, that's where it stayed until recently.

I was searching for something quick and easy to make for dinner and came across this recipe card. Perfect.

The recipe is super simple and it even included the ingredients and measurements for the seasoning so you can make more for another time after using their sample!

Mini Frittatas

2 tsp olive oil
2 cups of 1/4 in diced zucchini
1 cup of 1/4in diced red onion
1 cup of diced sweet red pepper
seasoning mix-followed below
4 oz (125 g) sliced prosciutto or thinly sliced ham
3/4 cup shredded cheese
8 eggs

Seasoning mix

2 1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Heat oil in a pan and saute  zucchini, onion and peppers. Stir often and cook until slightly softened, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in seasoning.
2. Oil a muffin pan (of 12) and line bottoms and cups with prosciutto or ham.
3. Divide sautéed veggies evenly into muffin cups and sprinkle 1tbsp of shredded cheese over each cup.
4. Whisk eggs in a bowl and pour eggs evenly into muffin cups.
5. Bake in oven at 350 until frittatas are puffed and set in the center, approx 20-25 mins.
6. Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes. Run a knife around the edge to help release them.

Makes 12

 When I made them I did not have the ham...they still tasted great and turned out fine!

I also refrigerated the left overs and reheated them in a frying pan on a med-low heat.

You can also add any other of your favourite veggies in there!!
