Our fave healthy foodie Amy Crawford of The Holistic Ingredient is back in MNB land to contribute another rocking recipe that will knock your socks off. This week our practical wholefood enthusiast has provided an easy frittata recipe to serve as a healthy solution for lunch, dinner… and even breakfast. Yum!
Never ever underestimate the power of leftovers people! In fact, I encourage you to cook with abundance – roast too many vegies, steam too much broccoli, cook too much quinoa (as I have here) and hey presto! You’ve got magic waiting to happen – for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. If you’re super busy, why not kill many birds with one stone? Leftover vegies bring life to beautiful salads, omelettes, hash browns… you name it. So go forth, spread the left over love and chop until your heart’s content.
Which brings me to my most recent creation below, the direct result of a plethora of leftovers. And if I was you? I’d make too many of these too.
