Not too bad actually

Thank you everyone for the great comments on my last post! I’m sure I could go thru this situation just fine. Sometimes when you think about it, eating healthy is actually more expensive compare eating junks. But let’s think it this way. We rather spend a bit more on good quality food rather than medical bills and medications, right?

Being healthy is expensive (I translated literally from Indonesian’s famous proverb- sorry if it doesn’t quite make sense).

So speaking about food, what did I have for today?

Breakfast/post workout was exactly the same as yesterday – sweet potatoes and Applegate Roast Beef slices.

Lunch was also exactly the same as dinner..LOL…I know I’ve been having lots of food deja vu lately.
Oven fried taro fries, Oven fried curried chicken fingers and steamed Chinese veggies.

Dessert was the last container of strawberries (gotta get more this Saturday from Farmer’s Market)

Those kept me full until the time I got home and started to get hungry while I was driving home. Luckily, since Hubby K is now temporarily a stay home hubby, he already started cooking some dinner (mainly steaming veggies and reheated some Char Siew) while I made Egg Loaf Frittata.

Too bad I was too hungry to wait for the frittata to be done so I ate without it.

Plus I ate another avocado after I polished off the entire plate.

Tomorrow is finally Friday, (YAY!) which also mean the last workout of this week for me. Weekend, here I come!!

Tell me, what’s your biggest expense? Food? Clothing? Or other stuff?

 

Egg Loaf Frittata

Frittata is another Paleo friendly recipe that’s been floating among cave bloggers on the blogsphere. There are VARIOUS WAYS to make it and almost no need recipe for it. The most common way to make frittata is using a cast iron skillet, which you cook the omelet then pop it into your oven to fully cook the whole thing.

To simplify the process (also because I don’t have a cast iron skillet nor I’m interested to get one..that thing is so darn heavy!), I just bake the entire thing in my counter top convection oven using my 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.

Egg Loaf Frittata
Ingredients:
6-7 eggs
1-2 Tbsp full fat Greek yogurt
Cooked ground beef or any minced meat of your choice
2 stalks of green onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped onions
Any of your favorite seasonings (I used Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute)

Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until the yolk and white mixed evenly
2. Pour in the rest of the filling and season accordingly.
3. Grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with avocado oil
4. Pour in the egg mixture

5. Bake in the oven with 350°F for 40-50 minutes or until the inside is cooked (use toothpick to check the middle part)
6. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool

The egg loaf might shrink a bit after it cools down but worry not, it’ll still be yummy. Slice and store individual cut in an air tight container and you have a protein ready to go in your pantry! Super easy nutritious snack with very minimal effort. Feel free to experiment with different fillings/toppings.
