Hello! It feels really great to be back here and I appreciate all of you who let me know you read my post last week.:-)

The gluten-free cookie recipe was a big hit at our family reunion and the cookies were gobbled up immediately. I think the only semi-negative remark I heard was from my dad who said, “these taste really healthy.” Not exactly a compliment from my cookie-holic dad, but if I would have just substituted chocolate chips for the raisins, I think he would have been onboard. Next time, Dad.

So today’s recipe is also gluten-free. (Yes, you may notice a trend). Several months ago, I read an anti-inflammation guide and cookbook called The Abascal Way, and decided to follow the book’s advice to stop eating grains for breakfast. This was a big change for me and at first it was psychologically challenging, but almost immediately I started to notice the benefits – the biggest of which is that I don’t crave carbs mid-morning when I eat this way.

So in place of toast and butter, I now typically start my day off with a sauté of vegetables (onion, kale, sweet potato, bell peppers, asparagus, etc.) with a little bacon or ham mixed in and sometimes an egg on top. This Gluten-Free Sweet Potato, Asparagus & Sage Frittata recipe combines some of my new favorite breakfast ingredients in a beautiful dish that is perfect for Sunday brunch. The leftovers are delicious cold or reheated, too, so pack some up for lunch on Monday.
