Mushroom & Spinach Frittata

This is my weekend lunch. It’s what I made while Elliot was laying in a sunny patch on the floor and I was in between episodes of True Blood.

It’s extra lunch-y with a salad on the side. I’m a big fan of putting black beans in my salads, do you guys do that? You probably should.

Oh, and spinach and mushrooms are best friends. It’s just the truth.

So let’s have lunch. I’ll bring the frittata.
