It's Only Thurday

And I can't even say that tomorrow is my last day of school before 2009!! I still have to go next Monday and Tuesday. We don't even get Christmas Eve Eve off :[

I've noticed that I usually only post my breakfast and dinner. I suppose that's because my lunch is almost the same every day. I wish I could change it up a little, but I have to pack it every day so there isn't much I can do.

For breakfast this morning, I made another bowl of antioxidant oats (blueberries + dark chocolate), among other things. This time I replaced the yogurt with 1/2 oz almonds. Next on my list is flaked coconut.

For dinner tonight, I made a family favorite, Spaghetti Fritatta! I had it with a sliced banana and two slices of buttered whole wheat toast.


Ingredients:

• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 c mushrooms, chopped
• 1/2 c red bell pepper, chopped
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 tsp pepper
  
• 1/2 cheese (I used feta tonight)
• 2 tbs fresh basil
• 2 cups cooked spaghetti, or 4 0z. cooked
• 1 tbs butter

1. Saute the onion, mushroom and pepper in the olive oil until onion is browned.
2. Whisk together the eggs, pepper, cheese, and half of the basil.
3. Cut spaghetti into 2 inch pieces. Add to egg mixture along with the cooked veggies.
4. Heat butter in a medium skillet, try to get the sides coated too.
5. Add the egg mixture and cook over medium for 3-5 minutes, until bottom is browned and egg is set.
6. Here is the tricky part. Place a plate on top of the skillet and carefully flip the fritatta over, so the cooked side faces up. Now slide it back into the skillet.
7. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil and serve.

Oh, and I tried the mint chocolate Attune bar last night. Loved it!! It was the texture of a Crunch bar, with a bunch of crispy, crunchy nugget-y things in it. I love anything mint chocolate, and this was perfect! It's good chocolate, it doesn't lose any flavor with the added health benefits.
