Delicious Healthy Eating...

I love food but I want to be skinny. It's a tricky business trying to appease the cute jeans from Macy's as well as my appetite, yet the battle continues...the brownie or the bikini...

This weekend, I was looking through a cookbook that I have on my shelf called Best Place Northwest Cookbook and I realized it's the only cookbook I have that I have not used and I don't know why, because everything in it looks amazing! I picked out a couple(one being the Breakfast Frittata from a B&B in Friday Harbor) and decided I'd try them this week. Well, on Monday I attempted the breakfast frittata and to make a long story short, it didn't really work out. Largely b/c I really didn't have a good pan for it. So, on Tuesday I went to Macy's, got a new pan and tried again today. Seriously this frittata is soooo yummy, and what's amazing about it is that it is only like 246 calories per serving. So instead of eating something lame in the morning like a Slimfast or nonfat-whole-wheat-fun-sucked-out-of-it-muffin, you can actually eat this super filling breakfast with eggs and sausage and veggies and not mess with your diet! Yay!

If you want the recipe:
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 oz. bulk turkey sausage
2 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2 in. cubes
6 eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill or 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper or fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or more if you're not a wuss! I used chinese chili sauce...yum!)
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 c. diced green onion (about half a bunch)
1/4 c. diced red bell pepper (about half a red pepper)

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet, add turkey sausage and cook over medium heat, breaking into small pieces, until no pink remains, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Bring a small pan of water to a boil, add potatoes and cook 5 minutes; drain.
In a medium bowl combine eggs, water dill, pepper, hot pepper sauce and salt.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with butter in a 12 in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and fry until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Add the sausage and veggies and cook 1 minute longer.
Pour egg mixture over all this and cook over medium heat, gently lifting the edges as the eggs set to help distribute the uncooked egg. Cooked until edges are set and bottom is lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
