Mini Frittatas

With a few days off this week, I’m trying to stock up on some freezable, quick breakfast items.  I am not a huge fan of breakfast, and it needs to be small and light if it’s going to happen.  Shawn is on his bike so early that something portable is a huge plus.  I saw these little guys on some Buzzfeed post and tried to mock them up – they were pretty good!  But I should have greased the muffin tin a bit better – huge, stuck mess.  I would make more of these for sure, though.  Quick and very filling for breakfast.

Chicken Enchilada Meatloaf

So this was pretty awesome.  I’ve had this Serious Eats recipe on our “to make” list for months, but have never gotten around to it for some reason.  What a shame, because it was awesome, and will also make fantastic leftovers!  In fact, I’m ready to make it again, just to freeze and have more for later.  Anyway, I have never worked with ground chicken before, and was doubtful when I put the mix in the loaf pans, because soupy slop is kind.  But it all turned out.  I did ditch the jalepenos and cayenne (other than a dusting) because neither of us loves heat.  I subbed generous red pepper flakes instead.  I used 2lb of chicken for this and estimated liquids/spices to make up for it.  We had this with chili-lime green beans…loved it! To top it off, a VERY generous portion is very little in the calorie department…can’t beat that!
