Bacon, Onion, and Ricotta Frittata

Bacon, Onion, and Ricotta Frittata | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

I have a life lesson for you that I personally think is best learned as early in life as possible.

If you want to host a brunch and look super fancy and put together and Martha Stewart-y…make a frittata. I mean, just the word sounds fancy! It’s everything you want in a brunch dish – eggs and cheese and delicious fresh veggie things (and bacon, of course). Only you have to know that it’s really just a quiche without the work, a quick sauté and a whisk and a few minutes in the oven. Really, it’s the easiest thing in the entire world. Add a fruit salad and some mimosas and sit back and let the compliments come in!

Happy spring, everyone!!!

Just kidding. It’s 25 degrees out today with a snowstorm coming this week. Spring has NOT SPRUNG in Chicago.

I had planned to do a light, fresh, healthy recipe today to celebrate the official start of spring. But then I was like, you know what, screw it, I’m making some super-loaded banana muffins all jacked up with dark chocolate and toasted pecans. Because in this cruel hell in which it’s still sub-freezing and snowing in late March, bathing suit season just seems really, really far away. And banana muffins sound really, really good right now.

(The Best) Croque Madame

(The Best) Croque Madame | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

You know those mornings when you just NEEEEED an epic breakfast?

Like, 90% of the time, cereal is awesome. Oatmeal is just great. Scrambled eggs = easy. Done. But every so often, Sunday morning rolls around and the usual rotation is just not going to cut it. I need something decadent, ooey-gooey, and super hearty. Usually of the cheesy or chocolaty variety. 

This croque madame is for these kinds of mornings.
