"Real men don't eat Quiche but ... Real Men Eat Frittata". A long standing joke in our family is this quirky saying as eggs have always been a family favourite. Eggs are often a first choice for a meal or snack and we look forward to our weekly fried egg brekkie as well as frequent hard boiled egg snacks (so simple!). Add more eggs into your family menus - healthy for all.

Super Simple Oven Baked Frittata
This recipe has been on CAP since 2017. It is nutritious and delicious. Click on the link in the heading for the recipe. A few additional notes:
~ As mentioned, fresh kale from the garden can be used in place of spinach (or vice versa). Broccoli is also another favourite green vegetable to add
~ Leftover Chicken Frittata An easy variation is to add half a cup of (cooked and diced) chicken, or other poultry
~ Another idea is to add half a cup of seafood such as shrimp or salmon (canned) for an excellent Seafood Frittata. This one is super nutritious and tasty
~ Serve the cooked frittata with "Salads Galore" - always a great healthy addition to any meal
There is nothing that will improve your health, your well-being,
your achievement, your sense of accomplishment,
your sense of community,
and the health and happiness of your family
as much as cooking yourself and
enjoying a meal with others."
