Fritatta Verdi

Today was an eventful day in the Mara-Adam wedding arena!! My mom and I went and met with our florist today, and chose all the flowers we are going to have in our wedding!

My bridesmaids (wearing non-matching black dresses) will be carrying bright bouquets of roses, yellow fuji mums, stock, and pink dendrobium orchids. It will look something like this:

My bouquet will be white on white on white with roses, orchids, white fuji mums, and sprays of sparkles… I won’t share it here though because Adam reads the blog

The guys will wear orchids too, white for Adam and pink for the other guys. Something about choosing flowers has made this whole wedding, instead of being “yeah we’re getting married” to “OHMYGODWE’REGETTINGMARRIED!!!!!” My mom and I discussed music, the reception, shoes (of course) and it all started becoming super real. I’m SO EXCITED!!!

Anyway, enough about that… I got home from the flower meeting and lunch with my mom about 2:30, and realized we were short a few ingredients for dinner, so I went back out. I picked up some red peppers, some AmyLu Sausage, a couple potatoes, some reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, and some fresh basil. I had a fritatta a-brewin’ in my head!!

I used my favorite fritatta recipe and doctored it up a bit. I used fewer potatoes (only 3 small ones), added the cut-up sausage, and used red peppers in place of the spinach. The real key though, was what I did with the eggs. I used a green monster technique and blended in a bunch of fresh basil into the egg white fluff before I poured it into the hot pan.

The result? Well, it wasn’t as green as I’d hoped, but it was every bit as delicious! Just check it out in the evening sunlight:
