Shavuot is coming up this weekend and with it comes some serious eats. This Jewish holiday celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is customary to eat dairy foods on Shavuot for multiple reasons, making it one of my favorite holidays. When else do I have an excuse to keep cheesecake in the house?? But don't forget to practice moderation and try to double up on veggies instead of lasagna.
We were lucky enough to be able to share some of the holiday meals with our friends, one of which I'm co-hosting with my friend Yoni. We decided on a Mexican theme and had a lot of fun brainstorming the menu. One dish that I knew would make the cut were my Frittata Muffins. I stumbled upon a recipe for egg muffins back in February on Cooking Healthy For Me and immediately adapted it to my tastes. I swapped spinach for broccoli, cut out the bacon, and added crumbled goat cheese to really make these my own. These muffins are packed with nutrition and good flavor. They make an excellent breakfast on-the-go or a tasty side dish. And because they're muffins, they're already portion controlled. 1 serving = 2 muffins.
