OK, I kind of forgot I had started a blog! But we were on vacation and I wasn't anywhere near a computer. (That's good, right?)
Well, for the most part we've continued with our health eating. We had some sweet and spicy pork kababs using cubed pork tenderloin in an easy marinade (a little teriyaki sauce, some rice wine vinegar, touch of brown sugar and some crushed red peppers). I made one batch for the kids with less heat than for my own. Everyone really liked them so I'll definitely make them again.
Then to gear up for back to school I wanted a quick and easy breakfast alternative to the typical bowl of ceral, frozen waffles, etc. So I made a "Green Eggs & Ham Fritatta" (ham, spinach, mushrooms & onions). I know the eggs weren't really green but the spinach was. So far that has been a good decision! My daughter and I have had some for the past 2 mornings. Too bad my son won't go near it. He's been having dry cheerios and fresh fruit. Here's the fritatta!
If you've never made a fritatta, they are so easy! Saute up any ingredients you want, beat 8 eggs (I used 6 whole eggs plus 2 egg whites) and pour the mixture over the veggies / filling. Let that heat on a low setting (covered without stirring) for 5-7 minutes. Add some shredded cheese (I use different kinds based on what filling I'm using) and put under the broiler for about 3 minutes. SO good and easy and TASTY!
I think I'll make another one next week. We'll see what sort of ingredients we can come up with!
We've also enjoyed some more lobster, fish tacos, chicken fajitas and thai lettuce wraps during the past week. I just don't have any photos! We ate everything up too fast!
