Southwestern Frittata

Am I the only one around here who wakes up about to eat her arm off? My eyes open and I immediately think “Must. Have. Food.” Maybe that’s why breakfast is my favorite meal of the day – I love a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge breakfast. All of you sad people out there who don’t eat breakfast – I just can’t understand you. You make no sense to me. Maybe you should seek professional counseling – or make this Frittata. That might fix it.

I spend the majority of my meal planning time trying to decide on breakfast. I spend a majority of my Pinterest time pinning breakfast recipes…and I even have a board totally dedicated to oatmeal. I’m serious about breakfast – it is not a laughing matter. It IS the most important meal of the day…even if there are likely 1.5 million studies about how eating breakfast can kill you slowly. Everyone is a critic.

Southwestern Frittata

My love for breakfast might be why I’m tickled with this new eBook from Red and Honey – The Breakfast Revolution. A cookbook dedicated totally to breakfast? Sign me up, buttercup! It’s full of yummy goodness that will make me hop right out of bed in the morning and get cooking…okay, so maybe not hop. Maybe limp out of bed – or roll out of bed. I need a coffee maker on my side of the bed. Or a fork lift. Speaking of forks lifting….

Listen to some of these beauties: Cinnamon Bun Muffins, Bacon-Wrapped Baked Eggs (goodness, you should buy the book for that recipe alone! BACON!!!!), Maple Breakfast Custard, and Coconut Oil Frothy Coffee. I’m hungry. Is anyone else hungry now? It’s that darn bacon calling me again.

NOTE: I am not an affiliate with The Breakfast Revolution – I just want to promote it because I can. So take THAT, FTC.

Southwestern Frittata

Beth graciously said I could share Southwestern Frittata with you all – one of the 40+ recipes you’ll find in her book. I was tickled with that choice considering I love southwestern food, and eggs, and meat, and well…since I just love food in general.

I did a little tweaking, based on what I had. Because I have this disease that sometimes causes me not to follow recipes. Maybe that’s also the same disease that causes me to burn things in the oven.

Southwestern Frittata

This recipe is super easy to throw together on a Saturday morning. I made sure my meat was already thawed, so I just got up and browned it and mixed the other stuff in it – voila! Breakfast is served. After you bake it, of course. Don’t eat raw eggs mixed with browned meat – unless you’re cool with that, then totally go ahead. Me –> not cool with that. You can also chop your veggies the night before if you’re feeling extra productive.

In retrospect, I do wish I’d done one thing differently.  I wish I had used sausage instead of hamburger – because I have this thing for sausage with eggs. Actually, I just have this thing for food.

Southwestern Frittata

If you’re in a breakfast rut, you might want to give a look-see to The Breakfast Revolution – it’ll pull you out of your rut and set you on the right track…with bacon. Because the right track in life should always include bacon. I think I read that in the Constitution somewhere.

See the new link up below the recipe for a bunch of GREAT sugar-free and grain-free recipes!!!

    I used Yves meatless ground (half a package, they have 3 flavors, original, mexican and italian), but you can just use finely chopped mushrooms instead of meat if you wish, for the frittata 🙂

    In case you hadn’t noticed–you’re hilarious! 😀 Thanks for giving me some good chuckles and LOL moments…
    I totally know what you mean about Must Have Food-Now! 😀 Not always the same time as you, but definitely.
    I’m visiting at someone else’s house for a while, where I can’t really do any cooking….but just the picture of your delicious breakfast was enough to make me hungry. Right now. :}
    FYI: I love your “I’m not an affiliate” comment! And I saw your link on Nourishing Simplicity’s Simple Meal Friday link-up.

    I’m not a breakfast eater, really. I eat it, but I’m not READY to eat until about 9:30. Any earlier than that and I feel sick. What a weirdo. 🙂 This looks yummy! We like to have breakfast for dinner about once a week. This would pass, for sure! Thanks for linking up to Let’s Get Real!

    I love that your mom loved the muffins! We do, too – and the recipe does include variations for all sorts of GF flours, including almond. 🙂 Pinned your frittata, yum-o!

    This looks delicious! I like to make egg casseroles and frittatas for dinner. If I’m lucky, I get the leftovers for my breakfast. And I agree that sausage is the way to go!

    I LOVE my copy of The Breakfast Revolution. And I actually happen to be eating the Southwestern frittata as we speak LOL. We had it for breakfast yesterday and had one small slice leftover, and I just went and snatched it from the fridge before anyone else got to it 🙂 It’s SO yummy!
