What I Ate Wednesday - Fabulous Frittata

I have so much I want to share and blog about!  My mom's visit, the cookie party, our awesome Monday Night Football experience...but I also have so much to do! I did blog about our chilly trip to ICE.
Busy, busy, holiday dizzy!  Stay tuned for those great posts and enjoy today's WIAW offering and recipe.
Tonight's dinner was healthy and budget friendly - a frittata!  A great way to clean out your fridge and stretch your food dollars.
I always "say" that I'm going to make a frittata and it turns into more an a scramble, because I'm lazy! Eek! But a frittata is well worth the extra effort. Delicious! Give it a try next time you want a breakfast for dinner kind of night!

What I Ate Wednesday rundown:
- Breakfast - nothing! We were having our resting metabolic rates tested at school today so we had to fast.  Not fun! But I have a crazy high RMR - 2100!
- Snack - Kashi Go Lean + Honey Nut Chex + berries + soy milk
- Snack - banana
- Snack - protein bar
- Snack - (do you see a pattern?) raw yellow peppers and carrots
- Snack - homemade Gatorade! Super healthy recipe coming this week!
- Snack - toasted wheat thins
<insert nap here>
- Post run snack - Dessert protein shake with water
Dinner - egg, potato, onion, zucchini frittata

It was a haphazard day of eating, but I'm happy to have found a way to get lots of veggies in.

Do you eat 3 meals or lots of snacks?

Now for the promised recipe:
Veggie Egg Frittata
Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs, 3 egg whites
  • Diced onions
  • Diced potatoes
  • Diced zucchini
  • splash organic milk
  • green onion
  • diced ham
  • Mozzarella and parmesan cheese
Directions:
  • In a large saucepan in EVOO sautee onions, potatoes, and zucchini until soft.
  • Add ham and allow to crisp
  • Scramble eggs with milk, salt, and pepper
  • Add egg mixture to pan
  • Slowly pull back the edges as the egg cooks and allow the uncooked egg to spread to the edges.  When a majority of the egg is set, place the pan in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes or until the eggs are almost set.
  • Top the frittatta with cheese and broil until browned
  • Enjoy!
Do you eat breakfast for dinner?

Love and eggs,
Kyle & Carissa
