Sunday breakfast is less programmed than the rest of my week and it allows for a little experimentation. Rooting around in the fridge revealed the components for this easy fritatta.
I used:
- 2 Large Egss
- 12 spinach leaves
- 5 grape tomatoes
- 2 large mushrooms
- 2 slices of deli ham
- 1/2 oz. feta cheese crumbles (optional, not pictured)

Mehmet Oz is lying to you.
The number one take-away that one reporter had in a recent interview is that “Diets don’t work.” None of them! I feel that sentence is missing a very important word: “Unrealistic diets don’t work.” Instead of an actual plan to lose weight, Dr. Oz recommends cutting just 100 calories a day. Anybody can do that, right? And, he says that if you do that one simple thing, you will lose 11 pounds a year! Really? I call shenanigans!
