Ham and Cheese Frittata with Broccoli

Whether it’s at a restaurant with friends or at home with the family, brunch has always been one of my favorite meals to enjoy with others. When planning a brunch at home, it’s important to prepare a show-stopping centerpiece for the meal. Enter: Ham and Cheese Frittata with Broccoli. This mouth-watering recipe is made with wholesome ingredients like ham, broccoli, skim milk, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.

Slow Cooker Tuscan White Beans

These easy slow cooker Tuscan-inspired white beans with fire-roasted tomatoes, red peppers, sweet onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a hint of spice make the perfect vegetarian main dish or hearty side dish.  After recently hearing a report on all the health benefits of beans, I have been trying to add more of them to my diet. According to that report, beans are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper, and zinc and can help reduce the risk of many cancers as well as diabetes and heart disease. Plus they keep me full for a really long time, which is always a bonus. To get things started, I made this recipe for Slow Cooker Red Pepper Italian White Beans that I have been loving as a meatless entree or side dish. The beans are creamy and full of flavor from the red peppers, garlic, and vinegar. I like to kick things up with red pepper flakes as well, but you could leave these out if you don't like spice. To keep things simple I did...

Wowsa…Y’all really love the cauliflower rice. After the recent cauliflower fried rice recipe , lots of requests came in for other ways to mix up this healthy side dish. Craving Mexican rice a couple of nights ago but not wanting to tack on too many more calories to my meal, I ended up whipping up this simple version of traditional Mexican rice using riced cauliflower. I left out the peas since they are pretty carbohydrate-heavy for folks on a low-carb diet, but you could easily work them back in. Also, one tip for if you find yourself eating cauliflower rice a lot... make up a big batch and freeze it!
