Wellness Week Tip No. 1: Eat Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It has been shown those who eat breakfast weigh less. There are several theories as to why, but the biggest one I can think of is because you provide fuel to your body and stabilize your blood sugar to start the day off right.

Partnering with Spafinder.com, one of their recipes I like is a Tomato, Tarragon and Mostly Egg White Frittata.

Ingredients:
8 large egg whites
2 large eggs
2 oz. Parmesan, grated
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of sea salt
2 tsp butter
½ small onion, diced
6 organic plum tomatoes, seeded, diced

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs briefly until blended. Add half of the parmesan and all the tarragon, pepper and salt.
3. Melt butter in a 9- or 10-inch nonstick, oven-safe saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft. Add tomatoes and saute for 2-3 minutes (or a little longer if they are very watery to allow water to evaporate). Pour egg mixture into pan and stir gently with a heat-resistant spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the egg has set on the bottom and begins to set on top.
4. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top and place under broiler for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Cool slightly, and then invert onto serving platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.
