Fall apart-tender, juicy, and super flavorful. This updated version of the classic corned beef and cabbage is easy to make. While I like the traditional recipe, I wanted to add another layer of flavor. It’s incredible how a few slices of bacon can make a difference. One other change I […]

Sometimes I actually plan breakfast in advance. Like this Broccoli Cheddar Frittata. It’s amazing right out of the oven, but then what to do with the leftovers? That’s when I started making English muffin frittata sandwiches. Just reheat in the microwave in the morning and you’re good to go. One […]
