My Frittata is the perfect meal three times over. Breakfast, lunch or dinner and especially perfect made-a-head for a holiday brunch - a 4th meal!

This one, made with sweet potatoes, arugula & goat cheese, is very light, yummy and easy to make.

Perfect for a Mother’s Day meal - especially if you are not only the star of the day, but the cook!

Make it ahead & put your feet up on Mother’s Day. Get the simple recipe for my sweet potato arugula frittata.

These are also terrific as hostess or teacher gifts.  The kids can help make the tags & put them together.  

Any special wishes for Mother's Day?
