Sausage, Mushroom, & Swiss Chard Frittata

An easy frittata to whip up for a weekend breakfast or meal planning for the whole week!

I’ve enjoyed cooking and eating healthy for years, but never thought I would end up starting a blog and absolutely falling in love with it! There are SO many food bloggers I look up to (Fit Foodie Finds and The Healthy Maven are my favs), especially because they found a way to quit their full-time jobs and make income off their blogs. I can’t even tell you how happy I would be if I was able to do this! Or should I say WHEN I do this? 🙂

But for now, I have to wake up and go to work every day. Don’t get me wrong, I love my current full-time job and I’m very passionate about what I do, but I feel like this whole blogging thing is supposed to be more than just a hobby for me.

Because I have to go to work each day, that also means I have to pack breakfast and lunch. Frittatas have become my go-to breakfasts because they’re so incredibly easy and make enough food for breakfast the whole week. Half the time I make a frittata by just looking in my fridge and tossing in whatever meat and veggies I have.

I’m 100% certain I will have chickens someday… hopefully SOON. First of all, they’re so cute and I’d love just watching them walk around. Also, I eat so many eggs it would make sense for me to have my own chickens. I mean I already live on a small beef farm and have a giant garden and a compost bin, how much of a difference would adding a few chickens be?

Eggs are basically my best friend. My mom and I joke about how we get sick of them during the Whole 30 because that’s all we seem to eat for breakfast, but I just love love love eggs. There are so many different ways to prepare them and they provide so much protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. This frittata calls for a whole dozen eggs!

Besides eggs, this recipe calls for milk (I like almond, cashew, or coconut milk, but whichever you prefer), sausage (pork or turkey), spices, and veggies. Seriously how easy is that? AND healthy! Swiss chard may seem like an odd vegetable to add if you’re not familiar with it, but don’t be intimidated! It’s basically like a cross between spinach and kale and it’s packed with nutrients. Oh, and I have a TON of it in my garden right now, so of course I’m adding it to everything. You can add another type of leafy greens if you prefer!

I’m writing this post as I’m finishing up my second Whole 30, so that means no cheese for me! You best believe, though, I’d add a handful of feta cheese crumbles on top of this any other time. It’d also be delicious with swiss, pepper jack, or really ANY cheese. Oh, and of course a big puddle of hot sauce.

It doesn’t matter if you have to feed your whole family or if you’re just looking for an easy breakfast to take to work, this frittata is a must try!
