Veggie and Goat Cheese Frittata

2

I realized that I hadn't put up a breakfast post in a while, and felt it necessary to do so! This frittata is really easy to make, and can be used with all kinds of ingredients. For a non-vegetarian option you could add leftover chicken, shrimp, or holiday turkey!

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 Tbs milk
1/2 zucchini sliced
1/4 red bell pepper chopped
1/4 sweet yellow onion chopped
1/2 tomato chopped
2 Tbs crumbled goat cheese



what to do:
1. Saute the onions in some oil in a medium sized frying pan.
2. Add the bell pepper and zucchini once the onion turns translucent (about 5 mins)
3. While those veggies are cooking, whisk together the eggs and the milk, set aside
4. Add tomato after all other veggies have finished cooking, continue to cook for 1 more min
5. Add in the egg mixture to the pan, and turn the heat down to med-low, and place a lid over the top
6. Let frittata cook covered for 5-7 mins, then sprinkle the goat cheese on top, replace cover and cook for another 3 mins until cheese has melted down

Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce

Lettuce wraps are kind of like the salad of left overs. I had a craving for something on the lighter side, but more satisfying than a salad. I had some leftover roasted chicken and rice to use up, as well as fresh red peppers and cucumbers. I could have sauteed my frozen shrimp, used sliced avocado, etc. I also love Thai peanut sauce. it's tangy, rich, and has just the right amount of sweetness. It's incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/4 red bell pepper, julienned

1/3 cucumber sliced into thirds

1 c. cooked rice

1 c. cooked sliced chicken

3-4 big lettuce leaves

1/4 cup chunky peanut butter

1 Tbs cider vinegar

1 Tbs red curry paste/sauce

1/2 c. coconut or regular milk

what to do:

1. In a sauce pan heat peanut butter, red curry paste, cider vinegar, and milk on a low-med heat, stirring constantly to combine

2. Once heated through and mixed, remove from heat, and put to the side

3. Assemble sliced veggies, chicken, and rice on a plate with a couple leaves of lettuce

4. Fill each leaf with the ingredients and either dip into the sauce or pour it over!
