roasted broccoli & corn frittata

i spent all day at work today feasting upon food blogs. heck- when the weather is beautiful, most people don't want to come get their child swabbed for strep, and it makes for a very slow day at the office. i spent most of my day reclined back in my chair with my feet up, eating chocolate and making lists of all the new recipes i wanted to try. not a bad life.
not bad at all.

i came across this little beauty at this blog and my my my the deal was sealed when i read the words broccoli and eggs. with just a few minor adjustments, perfection was born. it says it serves two... well, i dare you to try to only eat half.
