That's a great mixture of tastes. I wanted to use some peanuts and a chocolate bar I had at home in a dessert. So I had the Ideia to combine them in a tasty brownie recipe!

My Mother used to make me French toast on Saturday mornings when I was growing up. I think what made hers the best was the fact that she used vanilla extract in the egg mixture to give it some added sweetness, and she also made her own syrup(recipe below…

The nice thing about a frittata is that it is so versatile you can easily adapt it to whatever ingredients you have on hand...much like a soup. As long as you have eggs, a liquid egg product, and/or tofu for the protein which serves as the base and binder…
