This is a very tasty frittata, & I stretched this into feeding 8 people by serving it along with bowls of fresh fruit & a homemade whole wheat bread ~ Gotta watch that cholesterol! We really enjoyed the inclusion of peas here, & we appreciate you sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my swapmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #25]

This is a lovely quick and easy dish to make. I served it as a side to veal schnitzels with mushrooms in a cream sauce and it complemented it nicely. Personal preferance next time I would add some mustard and fresh herbs like sweet marjoram and low fat milk could easily be substituted for the evaporated milk. This would go very nicely with a fresh salad for a light summer meal. Thanks for posting. Made for Make my Recipe Tag no.6

I was born to migrant (Polish) parents in the western suburbs of Victoria, Australia in the early 60's. I was born to love food. My mother, a talented lady, taught herself to cook after she got married and turned out to be a wonderful cook. People everywhere rave about her meals. I am especially fond of the few traditional Polish dishes she makes. These days that only happens by special request. :o)
When I was 18, I married into a Greek/Macedonian family and so my love of food was further expanded and enhanced. Those people can cook!
Now married for a 2nd time to a true-blue Aussie guy, I struck gold again with a mother-in-law who was extremely talented in her kitchen. Unfortunately she's too elderly and unwell to weild her wooden spoon these days but I thoroughly enjoy discussing her favourite recipes and perusing her old cook books.
Food has always been a huge part of my life. I love all types of cuisines.
Hubby and I have 7 kids (his, mine and ours). At present (2010), they are 26, 26, 25, 24, 20, 11 & 9 years old. I get to practice in the kitchen a lot. Sometimes more than I really want to. LOL! The 5 older kids are no longer living at home but phone me with foody requests regularly. I LOVE it when they ask for a favourite dish to be cooked by me. I feel my job has been well done. :o) My 2 younger kids are a Mum's nightmare to feed. I don't know why, but these 2 are by far the pick-iest eaters of the 7. Still, they are asked to try new things regularly and I'm sure one day, they too will have a love of good food as the rest of us do.
