Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! We had a fun filled weekend with some much needed time together hanging out at the beach and of course doing a little egg hunting. With that being said I didn’t spend too much time in the kitchen. I kept the cooking to a minimal so I could spend time with the hubby and the kids. I have to say it was a nice break, but that also means I don’t have much to share this week. BUT I do have this frittata! Yay! So frittata…a mix between a omelet and a quiche and a great breakfast/brunch option. Even better you can get creative and mix in different veggies or even breakfast sausage. It also provides great leftovers for the week ahead. Plus, plus, plus!
Ok, I’m keeping this short and not very entertaining. Sorry folks but I’m super tired. Late to go to bed last night and early to rise so I could get my morning WOD in. By the way….I hate Turkish Get Ups!! They aren’t fun! And I don’t foresee them ever being fun honestly. Tomorrow mornings WOD is going to look pretty darn good….just because they won’t have Turkish Get Ups in the equation. Ok, I’m off to get some much needed shut-eye!
Veggie Egg Frittata
5 to 6 asparagus spears, washed and chopped
1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup packed spinach, chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons green onion, diced

The Turkish Get-Up… I’d never heard of that until today… I’m totally trying it! (Frittata looks good too
just had to comment on the turkish get-up…not so fun if it’s 100 reps, but totally fun to do a 1 rep max! also can’t wait to try the frittata!
Is there something else I can use besides asparagus?
Kathy,
You can use any other vegetable of choice. Broccoli? Extra Spinach? Bell Peppers. Possibilities are endless. Or you could leave asparagus out completely and just use the other ingredients in the recipe.
This looks great! Making it tomorrow!!
