Tomato Basil Fritata

March 29, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 27 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today was just one of those days that I’m undecided about everything.  I spent an hour staring into my cupboard and refrigerator debating on what to make for dinner.  I didn’t have any defrosted meat, so I had to come up with a vegetarian dish everyone would love.  Still I couldn’t decide.  My Husband has been eating left over lasagna just about all week, so pasta was out.  Little Jenny doesn’t like beans.  I didn’t have any regular bread, I just didn’t know what to do.  So I sat at my computer thinking, as I ate away a half bag of Bob Mills Granola.  Than I realized I’m not that hungry any more, but I’m still under calories for the day, so I should still eat.  Lucky for me, my Husband called and said he was at the grocery store and asked if we need anything.  I said with a big smile, get something for yourself.  He was happy with that.  So he had what he calls Shitty Canoes, which is grilled hot dogs with canned chili and onions, blah!  And I made myself this!

What is that you’re wondering?  It’s tomato, basil and cheese frittata.  I figured I LOVE the combination of tomatoes and basil, why not try it with eggs?  Honestly I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but guess what I did!!  It’s so good.  The combination of tomatoes and basil with melted mozzarella cheese surrounded by puffy eggs, its perfect!  So glad I made it, and I think you should too!  Just look at the inside!


It is filled to the rim with tomatoes!  I served it with two small pieces of Seeded Oat bread that I made over the weekend.  I never understood why people eat all the bread but leave the ends.  I think that’s the best part, especially when you have seeded bread!!  I love that bread!  I topped it with Honey Apple Butter that I bought from Trader Joe’s.  Right now as we speak I feel like my stomach is going to explode.  Don’t eat a half a bag of granola before dinner!  I hate to even know what the calories I racked up on snacking on it!

Not the prettiest picture above, but that is what it looked like when I took it out of the oven.  Look at all that basil!  Yum!!!  I can’t wait to grow it in my garden this year.  Just hope the weather warms up enough so I can do some gardening.  My yard is in need of some major help!  The weeds are getting bigger than the plants!!

It’s going to be a short post tonight!  My Husband is cleaning the pool, and I am going to see, if my stomach can handle about 20 minutes of kickboxing.  I’ve kind of slacked on exercising this week, but I have been eating good!  Eggs and fruit for breakfast and salads for lunch.  Dinners have been healthy too!!  So I’m doing good!  My only set back this week was the dam granola!  I better take it to work and share it!!!  I’m best off not having it in the house.  That’s why I haven’t made any.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Toodles!

    Granola is one of my downfalls EVERY.TIME. One day I’ll learn just to avoid it. One day…

    I love these frittatas! It’s like a caprese salad encased in an egg…which sounds kinda like exactly what I want for dinner now!

    My whole family loves eggs and I am always looking for a new egg dish to try. Fresh basil is always so amazing by itself and when it is incorporated into a dish. I can’t wait to make this recipe!

    Looks like a great idea for a quick dinner. I hate those nights when I don’t know what to make, and don’t thaw anything.

    Hi there!

    I wanted to try this recipe today, but (as usual) I didn’t have all the ingredients, hehe. I didn’t have any basil, but I added mushrooms and oregano. My family approved and I think it was tasty and filling.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and making me look good in front of my family.

    Take care

    Great recipe – I’m using fresh basil from my terrace – and it is in the oven right now. My calculations show the calorie count higher than you have but still a healthy, protein rich dish!

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      June 10, 2012 at 9:04 AM

      How much higher? What are you using for ingredients? I used egg substitute and I weighted my tomatoes. However, calculations aren’t always going to be the same dur to different weights and name brands.

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
