My weekend looked like...

{started with mimosas at home}

 {winter essentials}

{checking out the menu a Kickshaw}

{waiting}

{some of THE BEST french toast I've had}

 {strolling}

{still love seeing his wedding band}

{finishing up our afternoon at Sweet Afton}

{Oatmeal Martini, one among many interesting cocktail blends at Sweet Afton}

My sister came for a visit this weekend. We brunched and lunched locally in Astoria on Saturday. It was still bitter cold but we made the best of it.

Butternut Squash Frittata

This weekend my brother-in-law came to visit. Whenever we have visitors my favorite thing to do is to prepare a special breakfast. Typically I make it indulgent, and sweet. Like pumpkin pie pancakes, I've posted about here. This time I wanted to cook up something a bit more savory. I had a fridge filled with butternut squash from my husbands butternut squash soup he made earlier in the week, so I knew I wanted to use that up somehow. After a quick search I came across this recipe and it sounded interesting enough to try out. I made a few adjustments to the recipe and it really turned out super! Everyone even went in for seconds.

My adjustments were:
Sub Kale for Spinach
Omitted the mushrooms (My Husbands hates them, sigh...)
Omitted the sage
Sub the gruyere for goat cheese
I used almond milk instead of a diary milk
