Disclosure: Eggland’s Best sponsored this post. All thoughts and reviews are my own.
Did you know the average family only spends twelve minutes together at the table during mealtime? As a busy family, I understand how difficult it can be to get the entire household to come to the table at the same time for a nutritious meal! And to do it WITHOUT bringing the smartphones— is even more of a challenge! However, we still make it a point to sit down and reconnect at dinner to share the day’s events and to encourage healthy eating habits. But I don’t think twelve minutes is quite enough do you?

- [b]For the Fruit Salad:[/b][br]
- 2 peeled oranges, cut in half, then into 6-8 pieces, depending on their size
- 1 cup fresh green, red or purple grapes (use varieties without seeds), left whole
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, if fresh remove green top, sliced in half or quarters depending on their size
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries and/or raspberries)
- 2 tsp balsamic or white wine vinegar OR fresh or bottled lime or lemon juice OR pineapple and/or orange juice
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp mint or basil leaves, left whole, removed from stems
- Preheat oven (regular or toaster oven) to broil setting.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs together until foamy, stir in the whole wheat flour, black pepper, and baking powder.
- Using a heavy skillet with an ovenproof handle, coat the skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium.
- Add the onion and cook until it starts to get soft, then add the spinach, bell pepper and mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
- Add the garlic and basil and cook for 1 minute. Stir to avoid burning these.
- Add the egg mixture into the pan and stir to mix the vegetables with the eggs.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set on top.
- Add the shredded cheese and using the back of the spoon, push lightly under the eggs, so it won’t burn in the oven.
- Place pan into the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes until golden and fluffy.
- Remove from pan, cut into 6 servings and serve.
- [b]For the Fruit Salad:[/b][br]
- In a large bowl combine all fruit salad ingredients.
- In a small covered jar shake the vinegar or juice with the olive oil to mix.
- Add dressing to the fruit and toss to coat. If using frozen fruit toss very gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
- Garnish with the fresh herbs, if available.
- Serve with the frittata.
