The Better Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner: Spinach Goat Cheese Frittata Minis

May 28, 2012

It's a natural fact that everything is best in minis. I don't know why or how this works, and I believe it is a conundrum best left for Sheldon to solve. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that if you make it in a mini serving, you can have an unlimited amount, and still have consumed less than if you were to eat one regular size portion...or at least that's how it works in my mind. 
I also like to think that the spinach counteracts the less than healthy ham and cheese of these frittatas. I'm blissfully ignorant about nutrition, and for my happiness and sanity it is probably best that I stay this way.

My parents don't eat ham so I also made some with thinly sliced turkey meat and they were delicious too! I imagine that if I ever get sick of making French bread from scratch (I doubt it, but let's pretend for a second) I will serve these on the side of pancakes.

The Better Way to Make Chicken Wings

I have gathered from gym TVs and my morning radio station that football time is here, and the Super Bowl is coming. Really, these events have no effect on my life seeing as how the only sports watched in my household are soccer and golf. I am aware that for many people this time is a serious combination of (root)beer, chips, chicken wings, and a complete disregard for any healthy New Year’s resolution, but it doesn’t hurt to try a healthier version of everyones favorite snack, chicken wings. This recipe doesn’t call for butter, and totally kicks the deep fryer to the curb. Trust me when I say you won’t miss either since the chicken still comes out moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
