fresh greens omelette with havarti

No picture for this one. This was a delicious 2-egg omelette I ate last night for dinner. I have to say, omelettes are quickly becoming a favourite thing for me. They’re quick, delicious, satisfying, and the possibilities are endless! (sort of).
I chopped up a few sprigs of cilantro and spinach and a clove of garlic, [...]

frankenfowl

Speaking of Greek, I want to make Greek-style potatoes because I have MANY potatoes that are waiting to be transformed into something delicious. The Greek potatoes I am thinking of are the lemony ones packed with herby flavour. I [...]
