Green Series Finale: Green Frittata
Today brings our last installment of the Green Series. I hope you’ve been enjoying it! It’s been fun for me to put together these green recipes for you, and I hope you’ll enjoy them this spring and summer. The last recipe is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner- check out the Green Frittata!
I loved this recipe! It’s tasty warm or cold, it’s low-cal, and it’s nutritious. It’s great with fruit salad or hash browns in the morning, or a salad with lunch or dinner. You’ll even have enough room for dessert! As always, you can switch out the vegetables for other things, and use any kind of cheese you’d like. Enjoy, lovelies- and after you’re done, go outside and enjoy the weather!
