A frittata is quite similar to an omelet, in that it is also made of eggs in a skillet. Really, the only differences include whipping air into the eggs, cooking it without folding, cooking at a lower temperature, and cooking it a little longer. The frittata gets more done on one side and is often served whole….kind of like an open-faced omelet. If made in a larger skillet, it is sliced like a pie. In Italy, potatoes or pasta is often added to it for a heartier meal
My frittata was so full of ingredients (though not any potatoes or pasta), that it fell apart coming out of the pan…..so, I shaped it on my plate like an omelet. A girl needs attractive food, you know! Since I have been in Italy, I like the Italian word….so….mine is still being called a frittata, though it appears to be the American version.
This frittata/omelete recipe would be a perfect breakfast for my Primal eating friends and quite spicy.

There is no need for a holiday to have a little Spicy Texas Trash Chex Mix, though for some reason, we only make it during the Christmas holidays. It was an annual tradition at our house and the taste of it brings me back to childhood.
I now make it gluten-free since my daughter is a Celiac. This year, I have to say, I made a delicious batch and I am still munching on it. I meant to pass it out but left for Italy the next day….and well….other things were on my mind. So, I am stuck with it….teehee. I am a littl surprised that it is still so fresh.
I really am posting this so that my kids will know how to make it themselves. It has never been written down before. The amounts were just estimated and always worked. Plus, I can’t use all the original ingredients in order to make it gluten free. So here goes.

Recipe Type: Snacks
Author: Cheney Family Recipe
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 2 hours 30 mins
Total time: 2 hours 50 mins
- 6 cups Corn Chex
- 6 cups Rice Chex
- 6 cups Gluten Free Pretzels
- 2 large cans Mixed Nuts (preferably less peanut kind)
- 1 cup homegrown pecans (optional)
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2–3/4 tbsp garlic powder
- 1–1 1/2 tbsp chile powder (depending on your taste)
- 1/2–1 tsp Cayenne Powder (depending on how spicy you want it)
- 1 tsp salt
- Melt the butter. Add the spices and Worcestershire Sauce and put it in a very large bowl or tub. Start with the lesser measure for the spices and add according to taste. Toss in the cereal, pretzels and nuts. With your hands, toss until completely coated and spread into 4 large 9×13 metal pans….or large jelly roll pans.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cook at this temp for about 45 minutes, stirring half way through. Then lower the temperature to about 275 and cook for another hour and a half. It is seems to be getting too brown but there is still a lot of butter, lower the temp, periodically stirring around and switching the pans around in the oven. When they seem to be done, leave the pans in the oven and turn it off. Let it cool off there for a couple of hours.
Also, I have been having some broken blog button problems. If you have one on your website, can you please switch it out for one from the sidebar? I think they are fixed! Woohoo!

Thought I would share some of the entries from last week’s blog party. There were so many good ones that I couldn’t chose, so I let you. I am featuring the most visited by you guys. I hope you will come back this week for Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits and see a whole new batch of great blog posts.
One of the weekly favorites was by a fun recipe blogger, Lady Behind the Curtain. Look at these scrumptious Carrot Cupcakes. She has started her link party back this year too (which I didn’t realize) called Cast Party Wednesdays.
I spent sometime at this featured favorite looking at theTop 10 DIY posts from 2011 at Whole New Mom. Wow! She has some awesome information and if you are into a lifestyle of healthy eating, you should check it out. She also has a blog party on Tuesdays (which I just found out). It is called Traditional Tuesdays is only for healthy living and eating ideas.
Not only did you guys seem to like the look of this pie, I can’t seem to get it off my mind. Take a look at the Banoffee Pie by Claire Justine Oxox. She also has a blog party called Creative Mondays.
Ok….so I have to share my precious and adorable granddaughter with you. Ok….well, her headband (click here for tutorial) is adorable too….made by my daughter over at 52 Mantels. If you want some awesome craft ideas on a shoestring budget, she is your hookup. She kicked off this past week with a blog party too on Thursdays called Thursdays Are Your Days. I think she had 65 entries her very first week!
Hope you have a happy blog hopping week!
