Grad School, a Paleo Life, and a Frittata

So, I haven't posted in ages. I'm a bad blogger, but I've been in graduate school and working full-time and trying to keep it paleo. I'll admit it. I failed. BIG TIME. I also started taking meds that made me gain 35 lbs. I'll post on that another time. Needless to say life has been crazy and it has taken a toll on my health and my attitude. Thankfully for me I am taking a break this summer from school and I have an amazing paleo support system. This month I am doing a 21 day detox with a few lovely paleo ladies in order to get myself back on track.

I'm only 3 days in, but so far so good. I even managed to make breakfast for the entire week (a yummy frittata) and pack my lunch and snacks today. Go me.

So without further ado the recipe for that yummy frittata:

Heat oven to 375

Ingredients

8 eggs
1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil)
1 bunch of asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 an onion, diced
herbs of your choice

1. In a large bowl whisk the eggs
2. Add all other ingredients to the eggs
3. Grease either a cast iron skillet or a pie pan with coconut oil
4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan
5. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is slightly browned and eggs are cooked through.

You can also add cooked bacon or sausage to this or any other veggies you have on hand.
