Sweet Potato & Kale Frittata
November 14, 2014
I enjoy a good frittata like anyone else — endlessly versatile, serves many and pretty darn easy to make. Before my journey to better health, I could’ve never imagined one WITHOUT cheese! I mean, what are eggs without cheese right?!
Until I met this frittata!
At the first bite I was in love and any thoughts of cheese ceased to exist. It’s so full of flavor the cheese isn’t missed one bit.
Try it out — with the ingredients listed below or switch things up with what you have on hand!
