I made this scrumptious breakfast on Monday even though I was suppose to make another type of Frittata I goofed and made this one. It was a great mistake let me tell you because the flavor in this meal was AMAZING!! I got this recipe from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Stripped book (pg. 205).
I am doing a modified version of the stripped plan this week. I am happy with my weight where it is but I am not happy with some of my actions lately. I have not been making the best decisions and have been giving in a LOT more. I need to whip myself back and so I thought this would help.
Regardless if you want to lose weight or not this breakfast is something to talk about. You have a lot of choices on how you want to make it and it is great for breakfast or any other meal of throughout the day.
