Brunch: Whole Wheat Apple Muffins & Spinach and Gruyere Frittata

Brunch is arguably the best meal during the weekend.  For me, there are two essentials that have to be on the table, an amazing egg dish and a delightful pastry, if I should be so tempted.  I adapted this recipe for a gruyere and spinach frittata, I omitted the bacon and sauteed the spinach with half and onion.  I loved this recipe because it infuses the basics - eggs, fresh spinach and a tastey cheese, that's it - no milk.

I have been on the lookout for a delicious apple recipe, since I still have an abundance of apples from our apple picking excursion last weekend.  I used this recipe that I adapted just a bit - I used less butter and incorporated whole wheat flour and organic pastry flour, which made the insides just so fluffy.

Gold Star - A Golden Collection

This Doris Bank gilded dish collection are almost too beautiful to eat off of - their not so perfect shape makes them even more irresistable and talk about life handing you a golden spoon! I love the golden creamer, I mean can you imagine having your guests pour milk into their coffee out of such a beautiful carafe? And the golden lined bowl - just amazing.
