Quick & Easy Frittata

For lunch today, I made a surprisingly quick, easy, and semi-healthy (except-for-the-cheese-and-potato) frittata. --and all with ingredients in the fridge. You can add or omit ingredients to your liking, and depending on what' in your freezer or fridge.

Quick and Easy Frittata

1 tb oil (EVOO)
1 hasbrown patty (thawed overnight in fridge if frozen)
1/2 c frozen veggies (also thawed overnight in fridge, if possible) -- I used onion, and red, green, and yellow pepper
1/2 c finely chopped fresh spinach (yep, spinach again!)
turkey bacon, crumbled OR bacon bits
1 egg (I use egg substitute)
1/4 c shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Warm up oil in small pan. In small dish, crumble up and grind hashbrown patty, then combine veggies and bacon. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until hashbrowns are browned and veggies sauteed to desired consistency. Add eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes, then flip. Finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

Getting Ready for the First Day of Kindergarten

Getting your child ready for the first day of kindergarten can help make the day, and your morning, go smoothly. Here are my best practical tips for making the first day of kindergarten a success!

Car Games for Kids

Morning car rides can be daunting if you’re not a morning person, and sometimes even if you ARE a morning person. Although I believe it’s perfectly ok to let your kids be bored, I also believe it’s important to use moments together wisely. So we tend to spend our morning car ride having conversations, and playing kids car games that help wake them up and keep them on their toes, AND it’s all done sans technology! Here I delve beyond “Punch-Buggy Charlie” and the license plate game for some good no-tech car games for kids. Car Games for Kids 20 Questions – We each take a turn coming up with a person, place, or thing. Then the other participants take turns asking yes or no questions to figure out what it is. If we figure it out before the 20th question, we win; if not, then the person answering the questions wins. This is a good exercise in making deductions and also figuring out good “category” questions.
