A Garden Fresh Frittata makes such a frugal meal. It gives you an opportunity to be creative and clear out your refrigerator.
We personally don’t grow zucchini, but we get a lot of it from neighbors. I like to serve this yummy frittata for dinner with a garden salad and fresh fruit.
The recipe also includes tomatoes and parsley from my garden. You could easily add, delete and/or switch other garden fresh ingredients that you have on hand. Maybe peppers, squash, peas, etc. Experiment and see what tasty dish you come up with.
