Bacon on a workday? Yes, please! These freezable frittatas are a weekday morning saviour. Heat 'em up in the microwave and enjoy on toast or an English muffin, or on their own with a side of greens or sliced avocado.
While a good shortbread cookie is worth the trip to the bakery, we (and many of our readers) love to get into the kitchen and create our own.
