spicy sausage and hash brown mini frittatas

Friends, it's May. MAY! When did this happen? Where did spring go? I feel like we've jumped from the snowy days of winter to almost summer craziness all in the span of a week. Ok, slight exaggeration...but truly it seems like just a few days ago we were celebrating Valentine's Day and cozying up on the couch with a steamy cup of hot cocoa!

May is quite the busy month in our house. Mother's Day. Birthdays. Showers. Graduation parties. It's enough to make my head spin and my wallet ache. So today we are combating the time and budget crunch with an easy filling mini frittatas. These little spicy gems are perfect for a Mother's Day brunch, a quick weeknight dinner, or wedding shower luncheon.

We could pretend that I was really on top of my holidays and this is my way of celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Sadly, these mini frittatas were simply a coincidence. A tasty coincidence. The product of a block of jalapeno cheddar calling my name, a roll of sausage in the freezer, and dozens upon dozens of farm fresh eggs spilling out of the fridge. Let's get crackin'!

hello and goodnight

Persimmon pudding, four loaves of challah, chicken salad, espresso brownies, french toast with peach maple syrup and whipped cream, chocolate covered strawberries, fondue birthday dinner...just some of the culinary madness that happens when Mother's Day collides with the Hubster's birthday. 

Tonight has been declared an evening of recovery in our abode. Leftovers. The couch. An early bedtime for this exhausted and blessed wife/daughter/sister/friend/foodie/nanny. Tonight I'm off the clock. 

P.S. Old window re-do post coming later this week!
