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!

    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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
