Mini Herb Frittatas Recipe

Here's another recipe from the baby shower I hosted this past weekend. Like most of my healthy recipes, greek yogurt plays a big role in making the recipe lighter, healthier, and with less milk fat. I also love using recipes with lots of fresh herbs because it ups the flavor profile without adding unnecessary calories or sodium.


Mini Herb Frittatas Recipe


Ingredients:
8 Large Brown Eggs
6 tablespoons 2% Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Organic Skim Milk
1 cup Finely Grated Pecorino Romano
2 heaping tablespoons Chopped Fresh Chives or Green Onions
2 heaping tablespoons Finely Chopped Dill
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper


Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Beat eggs in a medium bowl until smooth (no one wants a lumpy frittata). ADd remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour mixture into greased mini muffin tins (I used coconut oil for easy removal). Leave about 1/4 of an inch of space in the mini muffin tins to allow the frittatas to puff up nicely. Bake for 10 minutes; the eggs will look set. Turn the broiler on and cook until the frittatas are puffed up and golden brown, about five more minutes. It's best to take these out of the oven just before they're done so they can continue to cook to the perfect temperature in the pan as they cool. Serve after cooling for under 5 minutes. Garnish with a piece of thinly sliced prosciutto or a piece of peppery arugula. Enjoy!

Six Months

When I think about the fact that, as of today, I've been a mother for six months, I feel surprised. Such a short period of time, and yet it contains a lengthy list of changes. I was a mom long before I ever had a child that shared my last name. So is every other woman who longs for a child but cannot or has not been able to have one. It seems as if there is no way someone that was so recently a teeny tiny bundle of cells could change my life so completely in only half a year. But she did.  And now, here we are, preparing for another baby to arrive by Christmas. I know the general opinion on a pregnancy after adoption is that we should be overjoyed at such a miracle. Don't get me wrong- WE ARE. But, I made peace with my infertility diagnosis. When Millie was born, my need to conceive a child of my own evaporated. I saw her as my own daughter, no different than if I had given birth to her myself, and it didn't matter that she didn't share mine or Eric's physical fe...

The Not Funny Stuff

It brings me so much joy to know I can make some of you smile with my motherhood disaster stories. I promise that I laugh every single day in spite of the craziness that is two kids one year apart. But I've also been given a teeny tiny platform and an even smaller soapbox to climb on occasionally and speak my truth from. I'm grateful for that opportunity because as scary as honesty may be, I want to share the not funny stuff. From NBC and onward, I learned that living openly had the power to touch more lives than slapping a smile on my face and answering "I'm doing great!" whenever people ask how I'm surviving.   The truth is, as every parenting/mothering/toddlering/newborning blog will tell you, this time is not easy . It is really hard and lonely. It's squats and lunges for your character.  People say unsolicited things to mothers with complete abandon and total disregard for how they might make a very fragile person feel. I'm guilty of this, t...

7 Things I'm So Glad I Ignored About Parenting Lists

For two years before our daughter Amelia was born and we adopted her, I scoured Pinterest and the internet for articles about parenthood. I wanted the cold hard truth, the whole story, as told by other women who were just as excited and terrified of becoming mothers as I was. I gravitated towards the buzzfeed generation's style of writing; seeing things written out as a concise list gives me an inexplicable sense of organized excitement. "20 Things No One Tells You About Motherhood" "35 Dads Who Have Totally Nailed This Parenting Thing" "42 People Who Might Be Parents or Might Be Stock Photos" "19 Reasons to Have a Kid for the Tax Deduction" "How Infertility Changed Me- a Story By a Slice of Pizza". Most of those article names are things I made up but in my two year stretch of trying to conceive obsession, I honestly would've clicked on every single link. But out of all those articles and lists that I actually read, I don...
