  1. Yummy! The frittata was out of this world! I loved the onions .....
    Freya ate several slices of bread and the fruit. She tried the fritatta but then went back to the challah.

  2. The frittata was amazing. I forgot how much I loved dill! The bread was fabulous as well. The sauce/dressing on the fruit wasn't really to Blake's or my taste, but Dash seemed to like it, and he's the biggest fruit eater.
