Tomatoes Stuffed with Ground Meat and Eggs

March 20, 2018

When you are meal prepping and you are tired of scramble eggs or an omelet for breakfast, turn to this recipe to make breakfast interesting again. You can easily multiply this recipe and control portions by weighing the protein in the tomato before adding the egg. Simply determine how much protein you need for each tomato account for 15-20 percent shrinkage after cooking. This recipe calls for bison and there is minimal shrinkage because of the low fat content in bison but there is still moisture or water that also shrinks your proteins after cooking. This is especially delicious in the summertime when the tomatoes are plentiful. You want to use round tomatoes not Romas for this recipe. The nutritional contents below are for bison but any ground meat would be delicious. I have even used ground turkey omitting the oregano and then added organic gluten free taco seasoning and it was really delicious. In addition you can add vegetables to the meat mixture or even add quinoa or rice if you need more carbohydrates.

Swiss Chard and Meat Frittata

February 13, 2018

A frittata is basically an open-faced omelet. This is a great dish to make if you are having a hard time getting your breakfast in before work or taking the kids to school because you can make it ahead of time and heat up each day. You can even have it for lunch with a salad. This recipe is using ground beef but you can use bison, pork or even ground turkey or sausage. In addition, this recipe is using swiss chard but you can substitute spinach or any vegetables. You can also omit the meat and just have an egg and vegetable frittata.
