Santa Fe Green Chile and Ham Frittata

Frittatas are what I usually make when I have a bunch of leftovers. For example, today I was cleaning out the fridge found a half bag of hash brown potatoes, some leftover ham and a jar of fire-roasted salsa a friend brought over on Saturday.  I added a can of diced green chilies and used the salsa as a topping and had a great lunch.

You really don't even need a recipe. Just heat up about 3 cups of leftover meat and/or veggies, add 4 beaten eggs, a few spices and you're all set.

So, what kind of frittata can you make from your leftovers?

 

Recipe Redo: Southern Living's Two-Step Pound Cake

FYI, Southerners take pound cake very seriously.  So much so that when I was interviewing for a position in the Southern Living test kitchen, one of the things I was tested and judged on was my ability to make pound cake.

During my time in the test kitchen I made a number of different pound cakes, but the one that really amazed me was the one that took no baking skills and was the easiest to make.  The Two-Step Pound Cake really is just 2 steps and takes minutes to get in the oven.  Simply layer the ingredients in the order given and then turn on the mixer.  Even if you think you can't bake, this cake is for you! 

Crispy Potato Pancakes (Latkes)

There once was a spud in the market
I picked up and slipped in my pocket.
"A latke you'll be",
I said with some glee,
"And serve you with chicken or brisket".
