takoyaki girl photobombs my frittata.

august 2, 2012 breakfast

attempting to get as much dahlia backdrop in this week as possible. breakfast is almost as colorful and quite satisfying.

happy august! dahlias are my favorite flower. sure, they're showy and ostentatious, but what's not to love? my breakfast was so excited, it hopped up onto the printer.

july 31, 2012 breakfast

a fine entry in the frittata regatta, featuring linguica from A & J meats, and co-piloted by broccoli (roasted). i don't want to eat frittata anymore that don't have roasted broccoli. also making a showing are plums from my husband's coworker's yard.

no, i didn't eat a crow for breakfast. but i saw this fledgling crow on the way to work! note the stumpiness of the tail compared to the rest of its body, the blue eyes, and the blunt beak. it was super cute! its parents were none too happy with me for taking this photo.

the crow's parents had no issue with me taking this photo of my breakfast, though.

lunchtime in meatball country.

same breakfast, only sunnier.

july 24, 2012 lunch

more meatballs, more salad. i've mentioned i call these meatballs sneaky meatballs for all of the veggie goodness i manage to sneak into each batch. it's not as if i'm trying to trick a toddler into eating them, but i imagine it would do the trick!

i think the pros outweigh the cons of having the same thing all week. the convenience of having a ready-made portion of eggs, meat and veggies to bring to work ensures i don't have to make the choice between spending money on something on the way to work or trying to hold out until lunch.

july 23, 2012 lunch

returned to an old standby for this week's lunch - garden fresh meatballs from everyday paleo. this time we added a bunch of fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes to the usual mix of ground turkey, ground beef, egg, yam, spinach, roasted red pepper, zucchini, garlic and almond flour. a simple green salad of greens from my boss's garden, tomatoes and cucumber plays sidekick to the meatballs.

a similar frittata to last week's, but with sliced chicken andouille sausage from trader joe's instead of bacon, plus a good deal of fresh basil. a nice addition to the standard crowd pleasers of oven-roasted broccoli, spinach, roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. both the sausage and the cholula lend it a nice wake-up kick.

the bacon grease we cooked the kale in last night had to come from somewhere, and sure enough, there's bacon hidden in this frittata, along with roasted broccoli, roasted red pepper and eggs. it was pretty simple to throw together last night, but the flavors all complement each other nicely. that's the beauty of frittatas, omelets, and scrambles - they pretty much work with whatever you have on hand!
