Mini Frittata

I have been on a frittata kick lately.  
Crockpot fritta's, mini fritta's....you get the idea.  
They are SO yummy and SO healthy.

All I could hear this morning, over and over, was "nummy, nummy. peeeeeeezzzzzzz (please)".  They were a hit!  Even my picky baby LOVED them!

I even put the rest of them in the freezer to see how well they freeze.  I can't WAIT to find out!  I want to make lots and lots of them to eat for later.  All of the ingredients freeze well.  I just hope they freeze well together :).

Mini Frittata

8 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup bell pepper, chopped (I did 1/2 green 1/2 red)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cups spinach, chopped
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
salt & pepper
mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 325.

Saute onions and bell peppers until tender.  Add the spinach until slightly wilted.

Wisk eggs, milk and salt & pepper together and pour evenly into 12 (lightly greased) muffin tins.

Add spoonfuls of veggies to the tin.  Top with tomatoes and cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes or until egg is slightly browned.  Cool for 5 and then take out and cool completely before serving.

A variation of THIS recipe.

I made this for a party and got so many compliments. It is really light and summery tasting. It is just perfect! I found the recipe here:

Chicken Salad

2 lbs chicken breasts, shredded

1/4 cup lime juice

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

3 avocado's

3 green onions

1/2 cup cilantro, lightly packed

I just mashed the avocado, salt, pepper and lime juice together and then mixed it with the shredded chicken then I added the green onion and cilantro and refrigerated it for an hour or two.

Oatmeal at it's Finest.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday...and Saturday and Sunday usually we have oatmeal. We are constantly changing it up. We just use quick oats, and make them normal on the stove. We do not add any honey or sugar, just a sprinkle of salt. If you add enough fruit it sweetens it up quite a bit. The ones on the picture would be great for Valentines day. Here are some idea's:

My boys favorite:
Put frozen or fresh raspberries in the water before adding the quick oats.
Slice up a banana in the oats just after adding them.
Add dried apples and raisins while the water is preparing to boil.

We also do:
Slice frozen strawberries and add them to water just before the oats.
Sliced frozen Blackberries in the water as it prepares to boil.
Fresh or frozen blueberries.


If you ask my boys what their favorite breakfast is they ALWAYS say quick oats.

Ice Cream??

This is delicious. We made a big batch and kept it in the freezer. It freezes HARD so we leave it out for a bit so it comes out soft.

Pure:
1 banana
1 cup of strawberries
1/3 cup of almond milk

I found this recipe on Pinterest here.

Cucumber Sandwich's

I saw this idea on Pinterest. I decided to use some cheese and Chicken. We REALLY liked these and will DEFINITELY do it again.
Hollow out your cucumbers.
You need:
Cucumber
Mozarella Cheese
Avocado's
Fill them with sliced Avocado, Grilled Chicken and a slice of mozzarella cheese. You may think it needs more than that but it really doesn't. I did spice my grilled chicken up with some cayenne pepper, paprika and chili powder.

Cashew Chicken

This really was SO so delicious. It is a definite do again! I found this recipe on Pinterest Here.

Just note that I used normal white vinegar instead of White wine vinegar. I would have used brown rice which would have also been delicious but I was sucking up to the hubby ;)
