Roasted Eggplant, Pumpkin and Bacon Frittata

Asher is going to be 7 weeks young tomorrow! Just one more week and he is going to be 2 months old. Woah, that's massive. Is it september already? It seems just yesterday when it was July and I was waddling around the house, pottering around the kitchen.

My baby boy makes cooing noises and when I place Mr Eeyore near him, I swear they were having a conversation. I am sure every mum says that, but I can't believe I can be so in love with a baby. Every small milestone makes me happy.

What has changed since we had him?
- Sleep. We can never have enough..NEVER.
- Meal time. Usually one of us is caring for him while the other eats.
- Identifying a change room wherever we go!
- My relationship with my mum. A greater appreciation of how she care and loves me.
- My routine is around his feeding/resting time.
- My going out bag has grown twice the size than it normally is.
- I can sing heaps of silly songs!

My kitchen still belongs to my mum, but I have attempted to bake a few things in the past weeks. It's nice to be cooking again.

I'm a fan of eggs. I can eat eggs anytime! Scrambled, fried, poached, soft boiled... It's a good hit of protein and so easy to use. I had a jar of roasted eggplant on hand- (even though we could have easily roasted one on the stove top, it's nice to have some handy jars around!) and left over pumpkin. I combined them together with some grilled bacon, grilled onions. eggs and chives, and here we go..a simple dinner done. The star I felt was the grilled onions, it added a sweetness to it!

This recipe was created before I delivered and no doubt, I will be digging it out again after my family return to Singapore and I have to start making meals again (Horror!).  This will even make a good breakfast the next morning.
