Asparagus Frittata and Spinach Strawberry Salad

So this is what was suppose to go in Friday's lunchbox.  As of Thursday at 4:45pm, this meal was prepped - - the asparagus was washed and chopped into 1/2 inch dice, the smoked jack and raw cheddar were grated, spinach washed and dressing made and waiting in the fridge.  Then, my husband walked in the door and said "Hey, aren't you suppose to be working at the snack shack in 5 minutes?" (my son is in T-ball and we are all required to take on a snack shack shift once a season).  So, my delicious meal was left lingering in the fridge - no dinner, no leftovers for lunch - while I slathered bright orange cheese on industrial tortilla chips, slapped canned chili on Costco bulk hotdogs, slung skittles and fundip across a metal counter and lectured small children on the wastefulness of using a plastic spoon to eat a snowcone.  A reluctant but captive audience, I refused to hand over the cone until they'd heard me out.  My husband and I enjoyed the Frittata the next evening, along with a bottle of chardonnay. Yum.

Organic veggies all from Full Belly Farm CSA box.  Organic cheese from Spring Hill Farm and Organic Valley, strawberries from the Farmer's Market.

I haven't tried this before. I am so curious what would be it's taste when you combined strawberries and spinach. Anyways, thanks for this healthy recipe.
