They all look good. Chunks of baked sweet potato instead of broccli (allergic), and adding a bunch of chopped greens. Thank you. I know to keep paper handy to write down recipes when I read you blog.
Stay safe

Margaret D said...

Looking good.

Victor S E Moubarak said...

All three recipes look delicious. I prefer the frittata. Thanx Jan.

God bless always.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I always use 1/2 and 1/2 (light cream) in my omelets, but never considered using whipping cream. Great idea when I have left over whipping cream at Thanksgiving later this month. I've copied all recipes today. I plan to use them all.

This looks so yummy! thanks for great opinion. But actually, one question in my mind which one is more beneficial for diet boiled eggs or omelete?
