Mini Frittatas


1-12 cupcake pan
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk (I used reduced fat)
salt and pepper
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used reduced fat)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Spray the cupcake pan with cooking spray.  Then in a large bowl mix together the milk, eggs, salt and pepper and cheese.  

Now I did several different varieties to make everyone happy....so this is what I did

I poured the egg mixture into all 12 cupcake spots and then in some I added tomatoes, some I added prosciutto, some I added a little goat cheese and then the rest I left with just regular cheddar cheese so Hunter would eat them.

Bake until the egg mixture is set in the center and kind of puffs up - should be about 10 minutes.  Then use a fork to help get the mini frittatas out of the pan.

Enjoy!!!!

Mediterranean Chicken with Penne Pasta

1-8 ounce box of whole wheat penne pasta
2-8 ounce boneless/skinless chicken breasts
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1-28 ounce can of diced tomatoes (I used no salt added)
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons Feta cheese (I used reduced fat)
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and grill/cook them however you like (I grilled ours).  Then in a large pot cook the pasta, cook until tender and then drain and set aside.  In a skillet add the olive oil and sauté the garlic then add the tomatoes and bring to a boil and reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Then toss the pasta with the tomato mixture and add the capers, basil and Feta.  Then top with the diced chicken.

Enjoy!!!!
