PUMPKIN & FETA FRITTATA

September 18, 2014

These days, I’m trying very hard to balance out my diet so that, for the most part, it’s really nourishing. For me that means avoiding processed foods, grains, sugar and dairy as much as possible and bumping up the fresh vegetables and proteins. By making healthy choices through the week I get to enjoy some food freedom on the weekends.

So I’m always looking out for easy, nutritious lunches and dinners to make during the week and this Pumpkin & Feta Frittata (in New Zealand’s ‘Food’ magazine – Oct/Nov 2014, Issue 79) certainly fits the bill. Basically, a frittata is primarily a bunch of vegetables encased in egg and cooked – in other words, a big vege omelette! You can make it as basic or as fancy as you want and it’s a great way to disguise vegetables for those who don’t much like them. The recipe is very flexible, so feel free to add whatever ingredients you prefer.
