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!

Summer Activities for Young Preschoolers

As a preschool teacher, I’m frequently asked about ways to help facilitate learning and growth at home, particularly what activities for young preschoolers can parents work on at home.

Trust me, I get how long these summer days can be, and being able to fill your child’s days with meaningful, age-appropriate activities can make or break your summer. (or winter break.
