Manic Monday and Ham & Veggie Frittata

Good evening! Today was a typical Monday -- go, go, go for me from start to finish. I had class and work until 6, and then went to an intense 45 minute Spinning class.

Mondays are hard because I usually don't get home until close to 8 o'clock. Which means, sometimes I'm eating dinner at 9. I hate eating that late, but some days I don't have a choice. I do, however, have a choice on what to cook! On long days, I need a fast meal. Enter: the frittata!

Into this frittata went:

-1 deli slice of honey ham
-Broccoli
-Tomato
-Onion (green and white)
-Green bell pepper
-6 Eggs (I seasoned the eggs with salt, pepper, a pinch of garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a couple dashes of Frank's hot sauce).

I sauteed the veggies and ham on low for a few minutes and then turned the heat off. I let the pan cool and then poured the eggs over the mixture. I then baked it in the oven of 375 degrees for about half an hour. (Tip: to make sure the eggs aren't still runny in the oven, stick a knife into the middle of the pan and make sure it comes out clean).

This meal was quick, easy and delicious! I paired it with a side salad of mixed greens, strawberries, almonds, and this dressing:
Annie's Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette.

I'm off to watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! (Can you tell yet that I have a Bravo addiction?) Have a great night :)

Welcome!

My first blog post! Ahhh! My name is Kyra, and I was inspired to start my own "healthy living blog" after being consumed in the blogosphere reading other amazing blogs like Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers and Tina from Carrots N Cake. These bloggers have been able to turn their passion for healthy living and active lifetyle into a career, which is so inspiring!
As a 24 year old law student, finding a balance between school, work, working out, and healthy eating is difficult. This blog is my way of trying to keep myself accountable as well as (hopefully) pass on recipes and workout ideas.
My favorite workouts are group exercise classes at my local gym. I often do spinning and body pump, however sometimes my schedule requires that I come up with own workouts! Other blogs have been such a good resource for this.
I've also stolen food ideas from other blogs! I make my fair share of Green Smoothies and overnight oats!
So, that's the gist of the motivation behind this blog! Thanks for reading!
