Crab Mushroom Artichoke Frittata

tonight called for a quick and easy meal. i have tons of eggs because every time i go to meadowvale, mom gives me a dozen eggs. they have about 20 hens and are getting over a dozen eggs daily. they are very happy hens and in turn, ian and i are quite content with our homegrown, organic, free-range extra large eggs.

i also had mushrooms, artichokes, and some crab meat on hand that i had frozen from a couple of months ago. so, frittata it was!
