our summer garden is looking like a wild jungle right now. i always have a hard pulling out our summer plants that are still growing tomatoes and peppers. so we are still harvesting the plants bit by bit until the first frost comes.
when we need a quick dinner on the fly, frittatas are my go to dish. we usually always have eggs on hand and you can throw in mostly any vegetable. so last night we harvested some cherry tomatoes, peppers, green onions, and cilantro from the garden and made this yummy dinner....in just a handful of minutes!
