3 eggs
1 cup arugula

The Popeye Frittata

A fritatta like this is a great make-ahead breakfast. Put it together while your making dinner the night before, and you can just pop a slice into the microwave in the morning, and get rolling out the door!

4 eggs
3/4 cup cooked chopped spinach (1 pkg. of frozen spinach)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Spaghetti & Broccoli Omelet

Yup, spaghetti omelet…trust me.

3 cups cooked spinach spaghetti
4 eggs
1 cup broccoli florets
(more…)

Southwestern Frittata

This is another great make-ahead breakfast or lunch, especially if you make these in the jumbo muffin tins. Pop the extras into a ziplock bag in the freezer, and you can just grab one on your way out the door to work. 60 seconds in the microwave, and you’ve got breakfast.

The fritatta:
4 eggs
1 small onion

Baked Corn, Tomato & Sausage Omelet

This is a great brunch item, with its Italian spice mixture combined with the turkey sausage. Hearty, yet packed with veggies.

2 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1/2 cup diced celery

Swiss Sizzler

I met this dish at a place called Dot’s Diner that I used to eat at all the time when I first moved to Boulder. Fun dish…

1 slice whole-wheat bread

Chile Rellenos Casserole

An easy to make side dish…
