More Recipes and a few home tips

Spinach and Potato Frittata
IS TO DIE FOR AND CHEAP!

Ingredients
1 tablespoon of olive or canola oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 russet potato, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of dehydrated chopped onion (in spice section at walmart)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
6 eggs
1 cup
milk
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
cheese (can be ommited)
Nonstick cooking spray

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Put a baking sheet into the oven to preheat. In a large bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the canola oil with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and add the potato slices, making sure they are all in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk and remaining salt and pepper. Mix in the cheese and the onion and spinach and garlic and set aside. Spray an oven-proof skillet or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Remove the potatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the eggs have set, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, directly from the skillet or casserole dish.

Place all ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on high 2-4 hours or low 4-6 hours.You might want to melt and mix the cream cheese and butter together before you place it in the slow cooker, but you don't have to.

Tips: Some of which are repeats, but the new folks have not seen them yet!

Spray your shower every day with comet bathroom cleaner (in a spray bottle) till sparkling clean then spray every 2 or 3 days and you will never have a dirty shower again.

Make a no paper towel rule in your house. Threaten peoples lives if they use them. Dry hands with hand towels, and wash every day or other day, if you get the microfiber good ones they last better. I ONLY use papertowels for drying out my pan after cooking ground beef. Will save a ton of $.

To rid your sponge of germs wet and cook in microwave for 1 minute.
