It took me a while to come up with a name for this one, and this is best I could do. It's a frittata meets quiche meets pie, and my new favorite thing. I eat eggs for breakfast everyday, usually an omelette, and thought, why not make one huge egg dish (a.k.a a frittata) and have a slice every morning. And then I remembered I had a little bit of pie crust in the fridge. This was the result.

I tried spaghetti squash for the first time a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how easy, delicious and misleading it is. I can't eat it without feeling guilty, and have to constantly remind myself there are only 25 calories in a cup. I know this because I make myself Google the nutrition facts every time. Here it's serve with one of my faves - a bolognese sauce, also made skinny with lean turkey breast. Really rich, yet really light. What's not to love? Easy Plum Tart Here is easy, peasy, fool-proof dessert, made with just four ingredients. You can easily swap the plums for apples, pears, or apricots, and it would be just as good. Sure, pie crust is involved, but it's very thin, and no extra butter is added to the recipe. Add a nice scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream or fro-yo while it's still warm, and you're golden. Inside Out Ham & Swiss Omelet I'm always looking for ways to make the foods I eat on a regular basis even tastier to prevent myself from becoming bored. Who doesn't love toasty, gooey cheese? Here's how I gave my omelet a twist. Literally. Southwest Turkey Chili I used to make chili all the time. And I really mean, all the time! I woke up this morning with a small craving, and because I've been on a health kick, I decided I'd use ground turkey breast and give it a kick with southwestern flavors. Strawberry Champagne Sangria One of my best friends, Daniella of Pinkee's Bowtique, came over for a mini "fit cook" photo shoot, and who better to kill a bottle of champagne with than one of your best friends? In all honesty, I used prosecco, because it's what I had on hand, but this delicious cocktail is meant to blow your boring mimosas out of the water. Enjoy the cocktail and the photos. Simply Smoothie This is hardly a recipe but the results were so great that now it's going to be one. I have a lot of frozen pre-cut fruit hanging out in a ziploc bag in my freezer -- they were leftover from the fruit skewers we put out at my sister's baby shower. I took a healthy handful of it and threw it in the blender, then splashed in some OJ to get it going. Let the blender do its thing, and voila. Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Waffles Played with my waffle recipe this morning by adding some fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips that I had leftover from the Valentine's Day muffins I baked for the girls at work -- and what a great idea it was! I love the bite of the raspberry seeds and the intense flavor that develops when they cook on the waffle iron. Inspired by lunch at La Cueva del Chango in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, this soup just tastes natural and authentic. There are no crazy spices and stocks to add flavor, it all comes from the ingredients -- poblano peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, yogurt and chicken breast. It's what I love most about authentic Mexican cuisine. Quinoa Sesame Stir Fry Here's an idea for a vegan stir fry that is packed with protein and flavor. I became obsessed with bean sprouts and spinach this week - the way both can be crunchy and tender at the same time, not to mention loaded with vitamins. Some shitake mushrooms would have also been wonderful in this dish -- I will be sure to try that next time! |
