Asparagus and Mushroom Frittata
This asparagus and mushroom frittata recipe is one of my favorites. The most important thing (I think) is to cook it slowly so the eggs stay tender.

Naked Chicken Burrito Bowl
I love to eat at places like Qdoba and Chipotle, so I created my own naked chicken burrito bowl recipe at home, minus the tortilla! This is very easy for a weeknight meal and is very filling and healthy; the recipe can easily be increased for more people.
