Recipe - Belgian Waffles with Strawberry Compote

Hungry yet?

Compote?  I hate the word "compote."  Too close to "compost," and who wants to eat that?  I prefer "goo," which more accurately describes a "compote" in my opinion.  Nomenclature notwithstanding, compotes do make delicious toppings for Belgian waffles.  My dear wife particularly likes strawberry goo on her waffles.  Strawberry goo is crazy simple to make, and it really dresses up Sunday brunch.  Read on for the quick and dirty details.

Recipe - Saturday Morning Frittata

Frittata with Steak, Hatch Chilis, Potato, and Scallions

Growing up, my dad had a rule about breakfast.  He would come to my room, open the door, and announce "Tony, time to get up!".  That was my only alarm.  If I decided to keep sleeping, I would miss breakfast entirely and be left to my own devices until lunch.  Often, that missed breakfast would consist of a frittata (a kind of Italian omelet), and some black coffee ("black" referring to coffee made in a "moka pot" on the stove - I had mine with cream and sugar).  If you've never had a frittata, you should really try making one.  You will understand why I rarely slept through breakfast. 

The word "frittata" must be Italian for "delicious leftovers", because that's exactly what it is.  Take anything left over from Friday night's dinner, cut it into pieces, fry it in a skillet, dump scrambled eggs on it and bon appetito!  You have yourself Saturday morning breakfast...or lunch...or a snack.
