Easy Spring Vegetable & Bacon Frittata
There are just some mornings I don’t want to get out of bed. There is nothing I could use more than an entire morning (I’m talking all the way to noon here) in bed. Snuggled under the covers. Reading all my favourite blogs. Watching Saturday morning TV. Drinking coffee with Bailey’s. Relaxing.
But alas my dog needs me. My family needs me. Work needs me. Every weekend has been go-go-go since the start of 2014. One of these weekends I will get my own way and spend the entire morning in bed. Hoping it’s sooner rather than later…
