There’s no need to eat out, when eating in can be better!
I pulled together a really nifty frittata made from organic eggs we bought at the Farmer’s Market, green onions, baby portabella mushrooms, kale leaves and grape tomatoes. A frittata, is an Italian crust-less quiche really or maybe it is like a giant unfolded omelet. In any case, it is a really quick and easy dinner, …

Pasta alla Puttanesca or pasta with puttanesca sauce is my all time favorite pasta dish. However, it is not necessarily something you would find on any weight loss plan, so I like experimenting with other pasta alternatives.
