Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a heavy bottomed skillet, preferably cast iron, heat 2 tbs. olive oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and then remove to a plate and set aside.
Whisk the eggs and sour cream with a bit of salt and pepper. Whisk in the cheddar and half of the parmesan. In a small bowl, toss the kale with a bit of olive oil and massage it into the leaves.
In the same heavy skilled, add the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the egg mixture followed by the mushrooms and onions, the kale, and finally the rest of the parmesan on top.
Cook until the frittata is set around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer to the oven and bake until completely set, about 20-25 minutes.
Once baked, loosen the edges with a knife and turn the frittata onto a plate. Slice and serve with Yellowbird hot sauce.
It's officially spring and the bugs are OUT. Since we compost at home, we tend to struggle with fruit flies, and I know we're not alone! I'd like to share with y'all this ingenious fruit fly trap that my good friend Kathryn shared with me. It will take out an entire fruit fly population overnight!!
Here's what you need:
In the bottom of the jar, mash up the ripe fruit. Add just a splash of apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. The fruit needs to be above the liquid line, as it is what attracts the fruit flies.
Pinch the center of the coffee filter and fold the rest upwards into a sort-of cone shape. Cut the tip to make a small hole in the center of the filter. Push the hole down into the jar while folding the sides around the rim.
It won't be perfect and the filter will bunch up in places, it's okay. Tape the edges of the filter to the outside rim, so that the cone won't move out of place.
THAT'S IT!
The flies will smell the ripe/decomposing fruit and fly into the little hole, where they will get stuck. When they eventually fall into the liquid, the dish soap keeps them from being able to fly/crawl out. Trust me, by morning you will have a little fruit fly graveyard to marvel at.

Here's what you need:
- a wide mouth mason jar
- dish soap
- apple cider vinegar
- very ripe fruit
- coffee filter
- tape
In the bottom of the jar, mash up the ripe fruit. Add just a splash of apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. The fruit needs to be above the liquid line, as it is what attracts the fruit flies.
Pinch the center of the coffee filter and fold the rest upwards into a sort-of cone shape. Cut the tip to make a small hole in the center of the filter. Push the hole down into the jar while folding the sides around the rim.
