Our new breakfast columnist Khalilah Ramdene debuts with a fresh autumn frittata recipe.
By Khalilah Ramdene
I always find it strange when people say they skip breakfast.
Skip breakfast? 
My days are spent in quite anticipation for the next breakfast meal. In fact my love of breakfast is so profound, I will happily eat pancakes, waffles and omelettes for any meal of the day. I find I have few exception concerning breakfast.
Some breakfast foods do make a smoother transition into the lunch and dinner territory and this Autumn Frittata is a perfect example of why. The frittata, like the omelette or quiche, is an egg based dish brimming with the ingredients of your choice. It’s the quintessential kitchen sink recipe. That is, you can throw in whatever you want, making it ideal for a quick dinner or indulgent lunch. And because frittatas are usually made in large pans with plenty ingredients, they’re also good for a crowd.
During the fall, my frittatas are filled with kale and topped with homemade tomato sauce.
