Served alone for breakfast or with a side salad for lunch or dinner, it’s a step up from scrambled eggs and less fussy than an omelet./p
pFrittatas are generally shoved under the broiler for quick cooking and therein lies the only problem with a frittata. Too often, the a title=”Guide to Perfect Eggs” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/guide-perfect-eggs/#axzz3Sse4CXFu”eggs/a are dry and bland. But if you give a frittata a little more time, letting it bake slowly in low heat, the eggs are soft and custardy, but still firm enough to slice. It’s a welcome improvement./p

pThis slow baked BLT frittata – or more accurately BST frittata since healthy spinach takes the place of iceberg lettuce – is a favorite frittata both for flavor and texture. It’s a delicious way to get a healthy dose of […]

Spaghetti alla Carbonara: When it’s good, it can make your eyes roll back in your head with pleasure. It lurks there, beckoning, batting its eyelashes on Italian menus. When you don’t order it, you usually end up wishing you had.

Do you ever make it at home? Seems easy enough, right? It’s basically just bacon, eggs, and pasta.

Second, what#8217;s the real story behind rinsing raw meat? Does it actually remove bacteria and reduce the chances of food-borne illness? Third, is glutamic acid, or glutamate, really a health concern for everyone? MSG is one thing, but what about glutamate found in real, otherwise healthy foods like meat, sardines, and aged cheeses?
