    Yuca and Chard Frittata

    Breakfast

    We are constantly looking for fun ways to keep breakfast delicious and interesting and this Yuca and Chard Frittata does exactly that! It has the perfect combination of savory ingredients that will keep you craving more.  Who wants a boring cereal when you can make frittata ahead of time and have on hand for those mornings on the go? Let’s try some new veggies and throw some yuca and chard into our morning routine!

    Talk about nutritious too! The eggs are loaded with protein and healthy fats that will keep you full all day long, while the veggies in this dish offer so many different nutrients.  Yuca is a great source of fiber and vitamin C.  Dark leafy green vegetables (aka chard) are full of vitamin K to help blood clotting and iron that helps to carry oxygen to the cells, leaving us energized for the day.

    yucca cuttingTo prep this dish, you’ll need to begin by preheating the oven to 350F and then start by chopping your yuca into small pieces.  In a separate bowl, whisk together your eggs.  Next, heat oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet.  You will add your diced onions and a dash of cayenne for a nice kick.  Cook this up for about 2 minutes. Once the onions turn a nice golden color, add in the yuca pieces.  Cook the yuca until it begins to brown.  This should take about 5 minutes.  While the yuca is still cooking, toss in the chard.  Next, you’re going to pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir evenly to distribute all of the ingredients.  Toss in a pinch of salt and cook until the bottom is set, which should take about 5 minutes.  Sprinkle on some of that mozz and top with another dash of cayenne.  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the center of the frittata is set, which should be about another 15-20 minutes.  

    Have we convinced you yet?  Frittatas are one of my fav breakfast options because you can throw it together on the weekends and then have in the fridge, ready to heat, for those busy workdays.  It can also work well for lunch or dinners! Toss in some herbs for a quick flavor spin and you’re good to go.  How does frittata for lunch sound?  Let us know what you think in the comments below!

      Any suggestions for egg substitutes? I know of a variety for when baking but not when it comes to cooking.

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
