My Reaction To The Frittata

Not only is it pretty enough for you to take pictures of it and post it, but the contrast between the saltiness of the egg and the freshness of the vegetables not only makes you feel satisfied but also happy with your choice of eating healthy. I can see myself eating this on a picnic blanket while watching the sunset. 🧺 What can I say? I'm a foodie who loves to romanticize the times in which I can eat foods I enjoy and don't feel guilty about eating, haha. 😆
