Saturday Morning FIT-TATA!!

This weekend was another one for the books... Love was in the air, sweat was dripping in multiple work outs and MANY things were accomplished at the home (which will soon be rented to three amazing people...tears).  Productivity had to be in full swing and lots of energy was a MUST.  I decided on Saturday morning to make something different for breakfast, which was a nice change to our standard (but beautiful) over easy eggs, bacon, avocado and greek yogurt with fruit, mornings.

I made a FIT-TATA which was so tasty!  The best part about this meal is that you can change the ingredients in your fritatta to whatever you fancy.  Unfortunately (but fortunately) for the Duke and I we had limited to work with but it came out SO well and balanced.


PRE HEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES

Ingredients:

1/2 chopped onion
whole bell pepper chopped to small pieces
about 1/4 package ground turkey
two pieces of bacon
fresh grated parmesan
liquid egg whites (or about 6 whole eggs) - I used mostly liquid egg whites but to not scare off the mr. - I added 2 whole eggs beat with a bit of milk to the mix, for color.

Directions:

Over some coconut oil cook up all ingredients about 3/4 of the way.  Cook the turkey until no pink shows, cook the onions and bell peppers til soft and cook the bacon about 3/4 of the way there...remove all ingredients form the stove and place in a mixing bowl, mixing together - EXCEPT THE BACON AND THE PARMESAN, this will be used for topping later.

In a 9 inch round pan (or a Pyrex dish) - sprayed with cooking spray (I love coconut oil spray) place vegetables and meat.

Slowly pour over egg whites, or beaten eggs and place in oven for about 20 - 25 minutes

Just about the time you can pierce the egg dish with a fork and have it come out clean, pull it from the oven and top with fresh grated parmesan and chopped bacon - placing it back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes (or until you see the cheese browns on top).

Let sit for about 5-10 minutes to cool and serve up a slice with some sour cream and chalula or hot sauce of choice!


Other options for this meal would be including some cooked spinach, baby tomatoes, asparagus, more peppers or green chilies, potatoes, different kinds of cheeses (fontina or cheddar)... possibilities are endless!

Also - keep in mind, your mixture can always be put in a muffin tin to make 12 small baby fritattas to have some 'grab-n-go' breakfast treats - start your mornings off right!

Happy and Healthy week to everyone!!

Some additional weekend photos below.  Spent all day Saturday getting the room ready for a new renter - which consisted of a power sander, gray/green and white paint and of course champagne on ice!

 BEFORE: orange and LOUD - walls covered with an adhesive from previous music studio foam and in need of some serious TLC....
AFTER: calming colors, clean walls and no old 70's accordion blinds.  I'm not sure what these blinds are called but they are just about the worst thing ever and I could not let my renter deal with these...I pulled them off the wall and putty'd up the holes. 
After a GRIT CYCLE class this morning with my cousin Michele, (which I suggest you try if you're in need of a sweaty dance session on a bike) I picked up some new salad dressing at Greenleaf in Costa Mesa - AVOCADO LEMON, YUM!  It's SO GOOD and will be tasty on our BBQ items we make, as well as salads.  $7.95 for this bottle that lasts about 3 weeks - not TOO bad...
 First salad with my dressing...butter lettuce, cranberries, squeezed out and drained tuna with parmesan, a great pre-beach run treat
A beautiful Sunday to have a 4 mile beach run in Crystal Cove - we are so blessed to live in such an amazing place.  We're big state park fans and California has this one dialed in, it was lovely
 Getting our steps in while soaking in the California SUNSHINE!

Keep smiling and living mindful and happy!

  1. I could use another post like this... I attempted to make this on Sunday. Lets just say even though it tasted DELICIOUS!!! Mine came out "NOT PHOTO" worthy, like yours. But it was good to say the least.
