It didn't really happen intentionally -- I didn't think to myself, "I think I'll spend a couple hours in the kitchen tonight and go for two new things at once." Instead, I found myself 1) cooking something new for dinner and 2) making a new dish to share with friends at our next Symphony on the Prairie picnic.
Item #1: A cheddar-potato frittata -- my first-ever frittata, if you can believe it! I made my first quiche just a couple months ago, too. This frittata was a recipe from a borrowed 1995 Cooking Light collection. (Bonus: I used my brand-new cast-iron Lodge skillet for the first time, which I just bought on my recent road trip through Tennessee.)
The frittata turned out perfectly, and I was able to stash a couple slices in the freezer for future quick dinners or breakfasts. It will be a repeat item.
Item #2: A greek pasta salad, with homemade dressing. This also turned out perfectly and will be one I'd like to make again. I actually might make some of the dressing to have on hand in the fridge for everyday salads.
Whew! What's next?
