Yummy Recipe, Vegetable Frittata

I've been doing a bit more cooking of late. Mainly because I am very lazy and will basically eat anything that's available when I'm hungry, regardless of whether it's healthy or not. So, I've realised that if I want to continue being healthy, I need to spend a bit of time preparing meals in advance.

I am a shift worker and the temptation to eat chips, lollies and chocolate is an ongoing drama. All of my workmates bring junk food into work. It is so hard to say "NO", but I have to keep thinking that I don't want my arse to expand and take up what's left of my seat!

And I have to say that bringing my own healthy snacks to work has made a huge difference. The days that I have succumbed to my own cravings and eaten junk, I found myself feeling like crap and struggling to get through my 12 hour shift! So I've gotten into the habit of bringing snacks such as:

Almonds mixed with some Dried Cranberries
Apples
Cottage Cheese with Rice Cakes
Protein Bar (I have even found a recipe for home-made Protein Bars)

Of course I will have more substantial meals as well. An example is this yummy Vegetable Frittata. It's ao easy to make and reasonably healthy, I think (certainly better than Chips, Burgers, McDonalds etc)

VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 5 minutes, plus 10 minutes cooling time
Cooking: 30 minutes

Olive Oil Spray
500g Frozen or Fresh Stir Fry Vegetables
(I've used a combination of Broccoli, Mushrooms, Carrots, Tomato's, Red Capsicum and more)
6 Eggs (Or a combination of Eggs and Egg Whites)
1/2 Cup of Milk
Salt & Pepper

Preheat Oven to 180C
Spray a 20cm (Base Measurement) Cake Pan with Oil
Line Base and sides with Baking Paper

Heat a little Olive Oil Spray in a Frying Pan and stir fry vegetables until they are soft. Transfer to the Cake Pan.
Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl until combined. Season with Salt and Pepper if desired. Pour over the vegetables. Bake for 25 -30 minutes until set or a light golden colour. Set aside for 10 minutes to coll slightly.

This is lovely served with some salad greens.

This is one of the easiest things to make and very yummy. You can change it up by varying your vegetables.
