Southwestern frittata

I really just love recipes that are very versatile.  You can literally just take a basic recipe,look into your refrigerator, see what you have and throw something together. That is what I did with this frittata and it was AMAZING!!!!

I took 1/2 cup of a frozen potato mix, placed in an iron skillet(or something oven safe) and cook on med. heat until slightly browned.

I then added 1/4 diced onion

4 oz. mushrooms

2 jalapenos (optional)

a handful of fresh spinach and some type of meat.

I used leftover fajita meat from last nights dinner. I cooked that for about 5-7 min. Until the heat warms up all of the ingredients.

I then took 9 eggs and whisked them vigorously(like you would do for scrambled eggs), and add to the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Then add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of feta cheese and 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes( not in oil. if in oil, rinse off).

Cook w/o stirring for about 5 min., or until the egg mixture is just about set but the top is still loose. Then place the pan in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20-25 min. (until the center is set). Remove from the oven, slice and serve

And waaalllllaaaahhhh, Happy eating y'all!

Feta, cucumber and spinach pita sandwiches

In a small bowl, I mixed 1 small tub of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Cover and chill while you make the rest of the recipe.

Then take one English hothouse cucumber, take off skin and chop into thin slices. Place in a large bowl and add 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes(oil packed and drained), one green onion chopped, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of olive or grape seed oil and about 6 ounces of fresh baby spinach. Mix well. toss in salt and pepper to season and gently fold in about 2/3 cup of feta cheese.

Take your Pita bread and wrap in foil.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 min. until warm.

Take the pita bread and slice in half. place a spoonful of the yogurt mixture in each half then top with the salad mixture.

Recipe makes 4 full pita's or 8 halves.

This is a great lunch! It is only about 275 calories per whole pita!

Happy eating y'all!
