MARY’S MAGIC ASPARAGUS CHEDDAR FRITATTA
I keep getting asked, not only how I can be so attractive in the morning, but also for my recipes. Well, I’ve had to give Mary a little credit lately, so we’ll say this unbelieveably creamy, melt-in-your -mouth savory dish was hers…… You’ll remember it if you’ve eaten it!!
