I think both Cassie and I are glad the week is over. It took a toll on both of us and it all came to a head Friday. Maybe more for one than the other though. This is so mental! I just keep telling myself next week is a new week and it's only going to get easier. I think keeping the mind and body busy is KEY! I don't think I have ever thought about food this much in my life. When I am driving I think about food, when I am doing nothing I think about food....ahhhhh!!!!
This morning I made a breakfast fruit frittata.
4 egg whites
1/2c blueberries
3/4c raspberries
1/2c blackberries
3 crushed almonds
1/3tsp olive oil
I would use strawberries instead of raspberries and blackberries if they were in season. *You can use any kinds of fruit if you want.
I sautéed the fruit in a pan with the oil and water for about 5 minutes then I set some of the fruit aside. I whipped the 4 egg whites making sure to incorporate a lot of air. I added some vanilla and cinnamon to the egg whites. Then I drained the liquid from the fruit leftover in the pan and added the eggs. I cooked for about 8 minutes. When the egg whites were cooked I flipped them onto a plate and added the rest of the fruit and crushed almonds on top.
If you try this recipe I would use a little bit less fruit because when you eat cooked veggies and fruit you don't eat as much. I am not sure how to proportion that out...I would just guesstimate. I would sauté the fruit and remove it all from the pan and set aside. Add the egg whites and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes and add some of the fruit. Plate and add the rest of the fruit and almonds.
