Meat Free Friday: Mediterranean Vegetable Frittata
| March 25, 2010 | Filled under Italian, Lent, One Pan, Quick Weeknight Meals, Vegetarian or Vegan |
We don’t make fritattas very often, and I really don’t have a good excuse for that. They’re healthy, super easy to make, and so much more convenient than omelets if you’re cooking for a crowd. Since you don’t have to worry about folding it, it’s easy to pack it chock full of vegetables – I like to think of the egg as a binder for the veggies rather than as the main component of the dish.
You can use whatever vegetables you have around, which makes fritattas a great way to use up leftovers, but I always try to include eggplant when I make them. It doesn’t sound like it would go well with eggs, but trust me — it’s delicious. For this Mediterranean version, I also added some sun dried tomatoes, a few spoons full of pesto, and a light sprinkle of feta cheese. The resulting dish was phenomenal! The tomatoes and pesto really kicked things up a notch and made this fritatta special.
I forgot to put the spinach I had in it, so I made a little salad with it on the side. Since the fritatta was so savory, it went really well together. If you want to add more bulk to your eggs though, you can wilt the spinach with your vegetables.

Odds, Ends, and a Le Crueset Giveaway!
| March 23, 2010 | Filled under Special Occasions |
I can hardly believe it, but I missed the 1 year anniversary of me starting Healthy-Delicious.com! I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I’ve had the blog for much longer than that, but I only started posting regularly last winter, and it was last March that I moved it to my own domain.
Anyway, CSN stores offered me a product to giveaway and I thought it would be a fun opportunity to give away a great gift to one lucky reader in celebration of the blog’s birthday. This is a good one, folks! I spent hours pouring through the CSN websites choosing the perfect gift… they have everything imaginable: from cooking gadgets to board games, and dog beds to tv stands. It’s all divided up into smaller stores though, so it’s pretty easy to navigate. They also have some really awesome deals and special values on some of my favorite cookware. So what did I choose for you? You’ll have to read on to find out. 
You won’t want to miss this one! (pssst… it’s something from Le Crueset!)
First, see all that delicious food up there? Remember last year’s 24-hour NYC food whirlwind? Well, we did it again, and this year it was even better! I met up with Mo, Sarah, and Carol on Saturday and we proceeded to eat our way through NYC (sharing portions here and there so as to not be completely gross about it!). Our first stop was the Radiance Tea and Book House, where we shared a pitcher of the most amazing iced tea I’ve ever had (It was sweetened oolong tea with honey soaked fruit in it – it was almost like sangria with all that fruit!) and I ordered a side order of soupy pork dumplings. I love dumplings, and these were some of the best I’ve ever had. Sarah had an awesome looking ice cream sundae with homemade green tea, red bean, and mango ice creams and Carol ordered a really fun sticky rice and bean dessert with coconut milk and toasted nuts. I had a bit and it was SO GOOD! This place was a real find… not too crowded for a Saturday afternoon, it was the perfect place for a nice leisurely chat so we could all catch up. We did some sightseeing and stopped at the cutest little cheese shop for a snack – nothing like eating cheese on the sidewalk! Did some more sightseeing before we parted ways for dinner. Mo, Sarah, and I headed back to Mo’s neighborhood for a repeat of last year’s roast pork – which as even better this year! We also shared a few pitchers of sangria. [....]
