Butternut Squash Frittata

January 8, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hello and Happy Sunday!

I really hate typing that because I know my weekend is almost over.  It just goes so fast!  Only if the work week would go that fast.  Well I am recovering fine from my root canal.  I’m a little sore but no big deal! I didn’t even take the prescribed medicine.  I really don’t like taking any kind of medicine if I don’t have to.   Funny though, when you need to eat softer type foods I tend to gravitate towards foods I can’t eat like Pizza, Hamburgers, Pita Chips, Pretzels, Nuts and more.  I rarely even eat that type of food!  It’s all in my head I know!  Well I tempted to try chicken for dinner and it worked.  I made it moist enough that it didn’t hurt to eat it!  yeah!!  That’s a recipe I’ll share with you soon!!

So Saturday night, I made another flop dessert.  This time I won’t share a picture with you because it is, well, ugly!  I wanted something sweet that I could chew and I saw a tub of cool whip in the fridge, so I thought Chocolate Silk Pie.  Well, I checked my cupboards and I had a box of Sugar Free Chocolate pudding, but it was cook and serve, not instant.  I made it according to the directions on the stove top, and I set it aside to cool.  Well I didn’t let it cool enough and I mixed in half a tub of cool whip.  The chocolate just ate it right up!  I debated about throwing it out, but I tasted it and it was good.  Creamy Chocolate!  So I put it in my homemade graham cracker crust, and topped it with the remaining cool whip.  Refrigerated it for 3 hours and I thought doesn’t look bad.  Then I cut it and it was really like a pudding mess!  But a mess that was very yummy tasting.  I’ll try the recipe again, but do it up a little better with some added twists, then I will share it with you.  Don’t you hate when you make flops?  At least this one won’t get wasted.  Well now that I rambled on and on, I shall talk about today’s recipe!

So what’s for breakfast?  Remember that big batch of butternut squash I made?  First let me tell it was the best big batch ever, I ate it everyday!  For lunch, as a dinner side and even snacking on it cold.  Well, I made the most awesome breakfast with it.  I liked it so much I bought another butternut squash so I can make it again!  Oh your wondering what the heck I could make for breakfast with butternut squash?  Just see for yourself.


I made a Butternut Squash Frittata.  Oh my was it good.  It almost reminded me of my butternut squash pizza I made a while back!

This little egg dish was so quick and easy.  I took a 10 oz. Ramekin, sprayed it with cooking spray, added 1 cup squash, 2 eggs, milk and goat cheese.  Bake for 35 minutes and it was all done!

What was nice about this dish, is that it filled me up for about 4 hours.  I love having a hearty breakfast, meaning no snacking in the morning!  If you were to have some toast, maybe some bacon, you could easily split this with another person, but then again, it tasted so good, why would you want to?

Butternut Squash Frittata

Ingredients:

1 cup butternut squash, cooked

1/2 cup egg substitute or 2 eggs

2 tbsp. non-fat milk

1 dash pepper

1/2 oz goat cheese

Cooking Spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Spray a 10 oz oven safe dish with cooking spray

Add your butternut squash

In a measuring cup add your eggs and milk. Mix until combined. Pour over butternut squash.

Sprinkle with pepper and top with cheese.

Bake in oven for 30 – 35 minutes, until middle is slightly firm

Let it cool for a few minutes

NOTE:  To make roasted butternut squash, I peeled butternut squash, cut in to bite size pieces, place on a sprayed baking sheet, add 1/4 cup sliced onion, 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon and a pinch of Cayenne Pepper, mix together with your hands.  Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, flip the squash and bake for another 15 minutes.  You can go to this link to see a step by step on how I did it.

Makes 1 serving

Here’s a picture to give you an idea what the inside looked like.  Not a great shot!

One thing I do love about the weekend is breakfast.  It’s so nice to be able to take the time to make something yummy!  During the week, it’s normally, microwaved eggs, oatmeal or yogurt.  Nothing exciting!  Did you know you could make an egg dish just like this, but place them in a muffin pan and bake them.  Then you have a grab and go breakfast for a few days.

Whats your favorite meal of the day?  For me definitely breakfast!  I love it all eggs, waffles, muffins, croissants, oatmeal, bacon, toast, pancakes and left over cold pizza!  🙂  Yum!  I’m already thinking of tomorrows breakfast and I think I am feeling pancakes coming on!!  But what kind??

Now go make yourself a wonderful breakfast and start your day off right!  Have a great day!!!  Oh, one last thing, if your interested, I updated the Trader Joe’s page with a few more items.

    Your blog looks great! I’m happy that you are enjoying the b’nut squash recipe. It’s always fun to re-purpose things into new recipes too.
    Wishing you a speedy recovery!

    This really looks delicious! Boy would my kids love to have you for their Mom or maybe their nanny because you are always cooking up something tasty & nutritious (plus you’re lots of fun too!) The yogurt parfaits with granola, oatmeal, quiche, blueberry pancakes & scones among many other things. Heck, I could use some better nutrition myself! I haven’t been cooking much at all this past year because my kitchen just isn’t conducive & lately I’ve been on a lousy schedule because of work. I am lacking energy because of my diet & the boys need better nutrition because they are growing. Thanks for all the helpful tips though ~ I’ll pull it together one of these days. 🙂 Love you!

      I have to tell you this is my favorite egg dish! I save butternut squash from dinner, just so I can make this for breakfast! I hope you enjoy it! Also, good for you on starting a healthy lifestyle! I started mine about 2 – 3 years ago and I feel so much better inside and out!!

    I just wanted to share that Silk and pudding mixes do not set up. I have made that same mistake along with several other of my friends. Not sure if it needs something in regular milk to help it congeal. Ours just stayed liquid.

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
