Alone

Sometimes I feel bad about myself in the fact that I'm not more outgoing. Most of the time I am more than happy to be spending my time alone, away from people. Is that wrong? It's not that I do not like people, it's that I often don't want their company. I don't know why I'm wired that way. I guess it's normal. Some people love spending time with others and can never get enough, but I feel like time never seems "special" or "relevant" unless it isn't all of the time. I suppose that's strange. My tolerance for others isn't high. That's one thing I wish I could change.

Recipe: Onion Frittata

I attempted to make a frittata this week. It came out very yummy. And I'm not the hugest fan of eggs so that's how I know it's good!


Here's how to make it:



Whisk 8 eggs along with 2/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, some rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.




Put aside 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese.



Chop 1/3 cup of onion.



Brown the onions until soft, or  six minutes.




Cook your mixture in a pan until the bottom is browned, 4-5 minutes.



Add the ricotta cheese to the mixture.



Transfer to a cooking pan or skillet. Cook on 350 degrees for 10 min.




Here's what your delicious mixture will look like after it's cooked!



Then dish up a slice after it's cooled and add some more Parm!


 

Here's some quick facts about this dish and the ingredients in it:
Onions  have strong properties of anti-inflammation, contain Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium.
Eggs are high in protein, contain Vitamin A, Iron, and Calcium. They are, however; very high in cholesterol (some nutritionists say its good cholesterol, but cholesterol is still cholesterol in my eyes.)
Parmesan is considered a low-fat cheese so that's the good news! It along with Ricotta contain Vitamin D and Calcium and moderate levels of fat and sodium.



....SO, overall it's a healthy version of a comfort food =]




Bon Appetit!
