Sweet Potato and Sausage Frittata

If you read my blog regularly I’m sure you’ve gathered that I love breakfast and brunch food. Recently I visited Dovecote Cafe in Baltimore, MD and I sampled a delicious sweet potato frittata – so delicious I decided to add sausage and recreate it.

Preparation : Preheat oven at 400 degrees. In a large deep cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook/brown sausage.  Remove from pan and add sliced onions, saute for 5 minutes or until brown.  Place cubed sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish, top dish with two wet paper towels and microwave for 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and spinach to sautéed onions and cook for an additional 10 minutes over medium heat.  Whisk Eggs in a bowl or large dish, add cheese and all dry spices.  Once the spinach wilts add cooked sausage and egg mixture to the skillet.  Place skillet in oven for 25 minutes.

A quick and easy breakfast dish for one, two or a family meal.  I’m thinking the next time I’ll make a Greek Frittata or a Seafood Frittata.  Do you have a favorite Frittata recipe?

 

Peach Orgy (OR-G)

I’m always excited to visit different home bars because different friends like to purchase different liquor. On a recent visit to a friend’s home, I created a drink I like to call “Peach Orgy”. This star of this cocktail OR-G Liqueur – a French Vodka made with Papaya, Mango, and Lime.

Peach OR-G

What you need:

3 oz Vodka

1 1/2 oz OR-G

1 oz Peach Schnapps

1 Cup Orange Juice

Pour all ingredients into a standard shaker

Add Ice

Shake 5-10 times

Pour into glass

ENJOY!

 

Apple Cidecar

I know I know, the correct term is “Sidecar” not “Cidecar” but I created this cocktail with Apple Cider… hence the name “Apple Cidecar”

On a recent visit to my neighborhood liquor store, I was intrigued by the variety of  “featured” liquor they had on display at the front counter. I’ve been meaning to replenish my bar area at home, so I challenged myself to visit every week and purchase whatever liquor was “featured”  at the front register. No matter what it is, I’m going to buy it and create a specialty drink recipe for Arli’s Appetite.   This week one of the “featured”  items was Paul Masson “Grande Amber” Brandy.    I love a classic Sidecar, but I decided to make this one with an apple twist.
