Happy New Year 2011

I decided to start the morning off with a high protein breakfast for New Years day, so I got up and made a fritata and invited my daughter, her husband, and their boys, over to join me.

This fritata was made with a layer of brown rice on the bottom of the pan to start. Then I fried up some bacon, whipped together a dozen eggs with a cup of half and half, and laid a layer of uncooked asparagus spears on top of the rice. After the asparagus came a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. I poured the egg mixture on top and baked at 375degrees for about 45 minutes.
Voila~breakfast was ready.

Mr. Honey left for a Jeep run in Calico and took our middle grandson with him. Our eldest grandson stayed home with an ear ache and cold. The littlest is never found too far from his Mama (this too shall pass, but for now it's the sweet reward of having a youngest in the family).

Since Mr. Honey was out of town and I've never been known for staying up until midnight on New Year's Eve I rang in the new year eating beef bourguignon that my daughter (who lives next door) made and brought over. Now that's the way to end the year, if you ask me.

I forgot to take the photo of the beef bourguignon when it was hot and bubbly, so it doesn't look near as yummy as it did before it sat in the fridge all night.

My grandson thought playing scrabble with his Nana would be the best way to end the year...so that's what we did. How did you spend your New Year's Eve?
