Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This fall I visited my friends who live in Simi Valley and we went on what is quick becoming an annal trip to Los Olivos wine tasting. We had beautiful weather and tasted great wines.

We attended a party at  Foxen Winery which was really fun.

It is a great little sandwich and salad shop. You can walk around the little stores and then grab a sandwich and sit outside people watching.

The next morning my friend Tracy made this Cheesy Frittata. It is from the South Beach Diet and is super healthy but tasty! There really is no fat and is high in protein.
