*Country Frittata* (Diabetic Recipe)

Well today I decided on this frittata. this is pretty easy to make and tastes really good too. It's loaded with vegetables and you get your protein from the eggs. I really like veggies. My youngest son is really picky, He won't eat this because he doesn't like most vegetables. This would probably taste good with some chopped up canadian bacon too or some mushrooms. Well here you go.
