An eggcellent entrée created by blogger Erica Key for you to make at home

When she was just 5 years old, Atlanta-based blogger Erica Key fell in love with food. Founder of Eating with Erica, a lifestyle blog (www.eatingwitherica.com) dedicated to exploring the city’s cuisine, Key enjoys preparing meals at home for her fiancé, Desmond, and daughter, Sydney. So when the opportunity to share her favorite recipe with My Home Improvement readers came about, Key was all in. In honor of KitchenAid’s 100th anniversary, My Home Improvement teamed with the celebrated brand to offer a free KitchenAid Stand Mixer to the person who submitted the best dish. Kudos to Key! Her fabulous frittata was selected and now you can make this tasty meal at home too.
