Potato, Pepper, Onion Frittata with Bacon & Parmesan
Potato, Pepper, Onion Frittata with Bacon & Parmesan makes a great breakfast or lunch. The great thing about making a frittata is that you can basically put any type of vegetables that you have on hand in it. Also, you can leave out the bacon to make it vegetarian, just use olive oil in the pan before sautéing. This can be served hot, warm or cold. It's also great for a picnic!

Bacony Twice Baked Potato Casserole
Usually, twice baked potatoes are baked and then you scoop out the interior, leaving the skin as a shell. This mixture is then spooned back into the skin shells and they are replaced in the oven to warm through. This version is an easier casserole to feed a crowd. It's great for potlucks and can be made in advance.

Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese
Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese is a wonderful appetizer or side dish! I have been known to wake up in the morning and eat pickled beets. Yes, I know I'm weird! My favorite being Pickled Beets and Eggs. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals, and the juice from red beets has been actually shown to reduce high blood pressure. Beets help cleanse your liver, boost your sex drive (nature's Viagra), combat depression, relaxes the mind, contributes to a sense of well being and the list goes on.

Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula
Instead of doing the typical tomato / basil thing, I decided to go out on a limb and try Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.
I love grilled fruit. This recipe would also work with peaches or nectarines.
