HROTW (Healthy Recipe of the Week)

OK, so I've decided to add a new feature to my blog. I know of many of you that are trying to live and eat in a more healthy way so I thought I could share some of the recipes that work for me. Now keep in mind I basically follow the South Beach eating plan which means I can eat eggs, cheeses, whole grains, healthy oils, low fat meats, and fruits and veggies. So these recipes will have those things in them.

This first one is a BIGTIME favorite at my house. In fact I made them this morning, took 3 with me to go check my email, came back and the boys had eaten all the rest! Ahhh...but it's cause they are so yummy.

Mini Frittatas

Fat free cooking spray
1/2 C. onion, chopped
2/3 C. ham, chopped
1/3 C. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 T. fresh chives, chopped
1/8 t. thyme
1/8 t. black pepper
4 egg whites
1 whole egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute onions & ham in cooking spray (or don't...sometimes I just throw it in). Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add onions & ham. Spoon into mini-muffin pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 20 minutes. Makes about 14-16 mini frittatas.
