SUMMER SQUASH & BASIL FRITTATA

Summer Squash and Basil Frittata Recipe

 

For the first time, we have nurtured a garden from seed this year. Rows of bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, squash, and zucchini are growing tall and filled with hope of nurturing something. Just yesterday, we harvested our first zucchini and two squashes, so I had to whip up this delicious, nutritious, and healthy frittata. The moment you take a bite of this light frittata, your belly will thank you!
