![]() Seriously, have you seen the nutritional information in some of those coffee shop and chain bakery’s breakfast items? Goodbye, New Year’s resolutions, and for what? A single mini-quiche no bigger than a toddler’s palm? We are made of stronger stuff than that! This frittata recipe upends calorie-rich, expensive breakfasts and keeps you from getting the munchies at 10:30 am. And you’ll be less tempted to grab a sugar or fat filled thing on the way to work. The great news is that this little flatbread recipe comes together in under five minutes, so even when you’re in a rush, you have no excuses not to make this. An egg yolk is actually extremely beneficial in our diet, but if you, like so many of us this month, are cutting calories, (or just happen to have been blessed with a ton of extra egg whites, merci beaucoup, crème brûlé) then this egg white frittata is just the thing to make for a filling, lower calorie, protein-packed breakfast. Here’s hoping!Įggs, like bananas, are almost perfect foods, and I don’t like to mess with them too much by changing them or subtracting from them. Make one for breakfast, or make one for you and a friend to share for a teatime snack. Flatbread provides the wholegrain carbs, a tiny bit of apricot preserves adds something sweet, and sharp cheddar is a nice, melty counterbalance to everything else. I read somewhere that almond butter assists with sugar cravings, so I’ve come up with a flatbread recipe that I can make for breakfast or a snack that can help curb that crazy feeling I get when I simply must have something sweet. Three weeks?!? I prefer to ease into my sugar restriction over the course of the next month. Come January, when it’s time to commit to a weight loss and exercise resolution, I find that it’s hardest to break my dependency on all that extra sugar I ate from October on…Ĭold turkey is definitely an option, and, from my informal research, after about three weeks, it’s supposed to “not be that bad.” O.M.G. All that sweet stuff, all those cakes and cookies and egg nog and cocoas and glasses of champagne and Bailey’s really adds up so quickly, and you just get used to eating dessert every day. And by alive, I mean and still fitting into your unforgiving blue jeans. Hopefully you love artichokes (and feta) as much as I do and you’ll make this classic combination this week!īouncing back from what seems like two (no, make it three, I almost forgot about Halloween,) months of desserts can be super, duper hard to get out of alive. If we lived in a more rural area, this might be pretty typical, but in the city we feel super lucky to have local honey.Īnyways, whether or not you are brave enough to buy a whole lamb for all its edible parts, ground lamb is still a delicious buy no matter where you get it. Our neighbors across the street have three bee hives as well, and harvest honey on a regular basis, so all we have to do is bring over an empty jar when we run short. ![]() Even the university close to us has beehives on the roof of one of their buildings, in an effort to support the bees. In the city, this takes a bit of planning, but once you start digging around, it’s pretty amazing to find out who else around you is growing things. I’m planting a vegetable garden in a city garden plot this year, and in addition to that, we’re trying to get more meat and dairy from farmers and small, local growers. Most CSA programs are a win-win for so many reasons! In this case, we get a half a lamb in various cuts, from chops to ground meat, that we can use for our meals. Farmers get money from individuals early in the growing season, when they’re likely to most need it, and then get shares of the harvest later on throughout the year. I love buying my meat from a CSA, which is an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture. Artichokes lend a nice acidity to this flatbread burger recipe, which complements the richness of the burger and feta cheese. I had a partial jar of artichokes sitting around from a double batch of spinach artichoke dip with flatbread chips, as well as some ground lamb in the freezer from the CSA I belong to, so when dinner was looming, it wasn’t hard to know what to do. If you like hamburgers, then I bet you’ll love lamb burgers! Ground lamb is so flavorful, and spring really is the perfect time to enjoy it, wrapped up in a Foldit flatbread fresh off the grill.
