Start Your Day Off Right!

Egg whites are a staple in my house. I buy three or four cartons a week because they are such a great protein source and they are so easy to prepare. I’m always experimenting with different ways to prepare eggs since they are a popular meal at my house.

This week, I’m sharing one of my more zesty creations, the Picante Frittata from The Eat-Clean Diet® Recharged! It’s quick, tasty and nutritious!
