Spinach Frittata

My kids beg for this dish, and I'm happy to oblige especially because of the spinach. And what goes better with spinach than bacon!

Ingredients

3-4 Tbsp. of olive oil

½ yellow onion chopped

1 package baby spinach

6 pieces of lower sodium bacon

2 cups frozen hash browns

8 eggs

¼ cup milk

pepper to taste

Cook or bake the bacon as directed on the package until crisp. Place cooked bacon onto a plate covered with paper towels. Blot the bacon on top with additional paper towels to soak up any extra grease. Then break the bacon into small pieces, and set aside.

Rinse the spinach. Cook over medium-low heat, drain, and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the hashbrowns and onions until wilted, but not brown or crisp. Add more oil as needed. Add the bacon and spinach and stir gently. Lower the heat to medium low.

Preheat the oven to broil.

Using a whisk, beat the eggs, milk, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture in the pan. Scrape the pan until the egg starts to set on the bottom and top (about 6 - 8 minutes).

Place the pan into the oven, and broil 3 - 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Cool for about 5 minutes, cut into 8 pieces, and serve.

Makes 4 servings.

Rockin' Tacos

I came up with this recipe for low-sodium tacos when I was learning how to make my own sodium-free seasoning mixes. To make them sound exciting so that my son would eat them, I called them "Rockin' Tacos." He went for it, and they've become a staple in our menu planning ever since. Ingredients 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 lb ground beef, turkey, or chicken ½ onion chopped finely 4 - 6 cloves of garlic pressed ¼ cup water Add the following seasonings to taste (about a couple teaspoons each, but about a Tbsp of chili powder): Cumin Oregano Adobo seasoning Black pepper Chili powder Garlic powder (if not using fresh garlic) Ancho chili pepper (optional) Heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Cold and Flu Fighter

Kick the cold or flu before it hits. At the first sign of a runny nose, sore throat, or fatigue, I mix this tea about 2 times a day. I have warded off a full-blown cold several times thanks to this remedy. My kids even take it, although unwillingly; see the kid-friendly version below. *This is not an original recipe but is posted here for reference only. Ingredients: 3/4 cup water (heated about 45 seconds in the microwave) 1/4 cup raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV) 1 Tbsp raw honey Warm 3/4 cup of water in the microwave for about 50 seconds. Add 1/4 cup of raw unfiltered ACV and 1 Tbsp raw honey. Stir until honey is melted. Sip until the cup is empty. Do this 2-3 times daily. Although this tea might taste a bit bitter, the benefits are worth it. I have found the tea more tolerable (or rather less bitter) after it cools for a bit. Kid-friendly version This remedy works well for kids too! But, I will admit it takes some getting used to on their part. My 8-year-ol...

Ann's (Family and Friends' Favorite) Coleslaw

If the original recipe card has any indication about how long or how often we make this coleslaw, it proves just how much our friends and family enjoy it...and ask for the recipe! Here's the original card from Great Aunt Ann (on my husband's side). This lightly creamy coleslaw maintains a refreshing crunch, yet with a delightfully smooth texture. It has been the hit of many parties, family gatherings, and weeknight dinners. It can be served as a quick side dish or as a topping to barbecue sandwiches and even fish tacos. This recipe has been broken down into two portions: "party for many" and "party for 2-4," depending on how much you need. Party for many About 2 bags of shredded cabbage mix Dressing: ...
