On Sunday I was motivated to try some new veggies to meet my 10-a-day, which I realize I haven't been talking about as much lately, although I've been meeting this goal. It's easy to eat the same things each day. This frittata was a hit with Paul. I took out a large skillet, and put a little butter and olive oil in. Then I added sliced mushrooms, 5 cloves of garlic, and a bell pepper. I chopped up a bunch of Swiss chard (picture included for those who aren't familiar), sauteed that for about 5 minutes, then beat 11 eggs and added them, some fresh sage, fresh basil, green onions, salt and pepper. I cooked the frittata over medium heat on the stove for about 5 minutes, then grated cheddar on the top and baked it in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. It was so delicious! The chard gave it a neat flavor, and the basil gave it a really fresh taste. And I made enough that we've kept eating it and plan to all week.
I also ran again last night - 25 minutes. It's such a stress release, I realized last week was especially hard because I didn't have a physical outlet for my energy. I also just signed up for the Spreckels 10-K on Sunday, since I need to get my stamina up for the two 13.1-milers I have coming up in 4 and 6 weeks!

ReplyDeleteexcited about the swiss chard! I'll have to try it!! :)
You go girl... and thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum, this post totally made me crave swiss chard- used some last night in dinner and am using the rest tonight! Nomnomnomnom.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find swiss chard at the small market by my office, so we went with bell peppers, onions, spinach, basil, and asparagus (which is what we had on hand at home). Also, I found a great recipe that adds 16 oz cream cheese (I substituted fat free for 1/2 but will do all next time), 1/4 cup cream or half and half, 2 cups cheddar cheese, plus 4 slices of wheat bread, cubed. Sautee the veggies, mix with the eggs (10), cheese, bread, and bake for 1 hour on 350... very yummy but probably not nearly as healthy as your version!
