Chicken and Vegetable Frittata

Oh my goodness am I in love with this recipe! I got the idea off of a Paleo forum I found but it is so easy to just use whatever is in your fridge. Yesterday morning I made my Frittata using the following ingredients:
bell pepper, tomatoes, onions, and chicken. This is an easy recipe to make ahead of time for those busy mornings when grabbing a donut or fast food would be easier than making something at home.


Chicken Vegetable Frittata 
Serves 6 or so
1/2-1 Bell Pepper, diced
1/2-1 Tomato, diced
1/4-1/2 onion, diced
1 chicken breast, precooked and chopped
6 eggs
Preheat oven to 350*. Combine vegetables and chicken in a skillet over medium-low heat. (Make sure you are using an all metal skillet). Cook until vegetables are soft. Crack eggs in a bowl and mix together. Pour eggs over the vegetable chicken mix, making sure it is mixed well and cook until frittata solidifies on the bottom. Then put the skillet in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through. 


Veggies and chicken in the skillet.

After the eggs have been added. 


Fresh out of the oven! 

This is seriously an extremely flexible recipe, if you have steak leftover throw it in and use any veggies you want. I want to try mushrooms next time. It obviously makes quite a bit too. I cut this like a pie and ended up with 6 pieces. To reheat just microwave for 15-20 seconds and you are good to go!

Yummy French Toast

I found this recipe first in one of Hungry Girl's cookbooks but adapted it a bit to our tastes. I also always use a 9-Grain Whole Wheat bread that is a bit higher in calories than the original recipe called for so I adjusted the recipe to take that into consideration.
Ingredients:
- 1/2c. Eggbeaters
-1/2t. cinnamon
-1/4t. vanilla
-3 slices whole wheat bread
-1 1/2t. powdered sugar

Directions:
Mix eggbeaters, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a bowl. Dredge the bread through the egg mixture on both sides. Then place each slice into a skillet (on medium heat) that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Cook on each side until golden brown or cooked through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. This recipe serves 2 people, 1 1/2 slices of french toast.
