I don't like squash, but my wife made this recipe last night, and I absolutely love it!!!!!!!
Original recipe from http://awholenewtwist.com/grain-free-cauli
flower-gnocchi/
Use as a foundation for either sweet or savory baked steel cut oat recipes
This is my version of Moroccan Chickpea Quinoa Salad from the website littlespicejar.com
This is a great meal anytime of year, but very comforting and warming for winter if using the cayenne.
Original recipe is from Willow Bird Bakery. I have adapted the recipe slightly and used ATK's blooming techinque.
A healthy breakfast with protein (soy milk and yogurt) and fiber (oatmeal and banana).
This recipe is adapted from a butternut squash and spinach lasagna @juliasalbum.com. I made this as my Thanksgiving entree this year (2016)
1 banana, 1 apple (no skin), 1/2 c strawberries, 1/4 plain greek yogurt, 1 c spinach, 1/2 c water

Steam asparagus crisp and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat butter in a 10-inch oven safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and saute until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add steamed asparagus, salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, grated cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the swiss cheese and mix well.
Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover the asparagus. Cook on medium for about 4 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Move the skillet to oven. Cook about 16 to 18 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked. Serve hot, cut into 4 to 6 equal wedges.

Mind? Please do! Spread the word and thank you!!

Loved this one too!

Yum! Even the kids were happy with this one (ages 8, 11, and 14)
GINA August 10, 2009 @ 6:55 pm REPLY
Awesome that your kids like veggies!!
PRALINE MCCORMACK June 19, 2010 @ 1:33 am REPLY
I made a bacon, potato & swiss frittata using your recipe as a base. I just omitted the asparagus, and instead added 3 rounds of breakfast style thick cut canadian bacon (1 point) diced and cooked baby red potatoes (1 point per potato), also diced, and then make it according to your directions, and it is really yummy! Thank for the delicious recipe!
GINA June 20, 2010 @ 12:10 am REPLY
Sounds delicious! How many points?
KRISTA April 5, 2011 @ 1:01 am REPLY
Wow. This was wonderful. Made it for "meatless Monday" and I may make it a weekly tradition! I'm excited to see how it reheats for breakfast tomorrow morning

Hi Gina, I am going to make this frittata tonight for dinner and I put the numbers in my point calculator and it came out as 6 pts+ per serving instead of 4. Did I miscalculate? I'm still going to make it either way!
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE April 25, 2012 @ 8:32 pm REPLY
I will recheck.
KELLY April 3, 2012 @ 4:32 pm REPLY
I'm not a fan of Swiss cheese. What other kind of cheese would you suggest in its place?
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE April 25, 2012 @ 8:31 pm REPLY
Mozzarella would be nice.
NORMA April 14, 2012 @ 4:08 am REPLY
I just made this. AMAZING! Another great one! You have me on a roll and no one can believe this is healthified cooking. I've spread the word to EVERYONE I know and even those I dont know (so much). Thank you, thank you, thank you!
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE April 25, 2012 @ 8:31 pm REPLY
Thanks Norma!
ANONYMOUS April 25, 2012 @ 7:15 pm REPLY
Can you find Pecorino Romano in any grocery store? Or what other cheese can you use?
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE April 25, 2012 @ 8:31 pm REPLY
Yes, it's usually available in the fine cheese section. Parmesan cheese would work in it's place.
TIMOTHY April 27, 2012 @ 8:13 pm REPLY
Gina,
Could I bake this and then freeze it?
Thank you!
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE May 7, 2012 @ 1:15 pm REPLY
I don't see why you couldn't!
VOLVO LADY DRIVER May 7, 2012 @ 5:12 am REPLY
Are the points for the whole dish or per serving?
GINA @ SKINNYTASTE May 7, 2012 @ 1:14 pm REPLY
per serving
ANONYMOUS June 4, 2012 @ 3:03 pm REPLY
According to WW this equals 6 PP not 4. Dish still looks AMAZING and excited to try.
Thanks!
BERNADETTE GANSLER April 17, 2013 @ 4:23 pm REPLY
I just finished having this for lunch (to make a single serving, I just used 1 egg and 1 egg white), and it was AMAZING! I had leftover grilled asparagus in the fridge, so it came together FAST. Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes!
SCAIRE April 18, 2013 @ 10:14 pm REPLY
Hey Gina, I LOVE your site even though I don't officially use weight watchers. I am loving the healthy versions of favorite meals and am making this for dinner tonight but adding turkey bacon at the request of my 12 year son.
Also, It's just my son and I now after big split last year so I recently got asparagus and have plenty left over. I am using some of the leftovers in this dish but I would love to know all the ways you use up a whole bunch of asparagus. Please answer even though I know you posted this a few years ago. LOVE your site!
SKINNYTASTE GINA May 6, 2013 @ 2:38 pm REPLY
I usually add them to salad, or just eat it chilled with a balsamic vinaigrette.
JAN PUTBRESS May 7, 2013 @ 3:22 pm REPLY
Try making Asparagus lasagna
We love it!
AI May 6, 2013 @ 3:29 pm REPLY
Yum! My favorite way to eat asparagus is to just quickly pan fry it with a little butter and some bacon, just because that's what my mom did every spring

:) The frittata looks delicious!!
NORA @BUTTERCREAM FANATIC May 6, 2013 @ 5:15 pm REPLY
I love how simple and fresh this looks (and, tastes, I'm sure). So perfect for this time of year!
LEA May 6, 2013 @ 8:22 pm REPLY
Gina, I love using egg substitute for these types of dishes. Lowers fat, calories & cholesterol.
STACY May 6, 2013 @ 8:51 pm REPLY
Do you have any suggestions for storing asparagus so that it doesn't go bad so quickly? I buy mine on Sunday and by Wednesday it's getting slimy.
JUDY GIRL E O May 7, 2013 @ 11:56 am REPLY
Keep asparagus in a container, I use a drinking glass or small mason jar,
so it is upright with a little amount of water to keep fresh. This works for me.
ANGIE May 7, 2013 @ 2:16 pm REPLY
Does anyone know what the amount of eggs I would need if I wanted to use egg beaters instead of the egg/egg white combo?
AMY ATHERTON May 7, 2013 @ 11:30 pm REPLY
This sounds like a wonderful dish for our Father's Day brunch! My dad loves quiche, omelettes, and anything with eggs, but he's supposed to be watching his cholesterol intake. With your flavorful lightened version, it sounds like he wouldn't miss the full-fat original at all!
LIZ May 8, 2013 @ 2:46 pm REPLY
I made this last night and it was wonderful! Definitely easy enough for a weeknight meal. Tasty enough that my hubby loves it too! Thanks!
ELIZABETH HOLABAUGH November 19, 2015 @ 2:28 pm REPLY
This is something I would love to take for lunch, any tips for reheating?
SKINNYTASTE GINA November 19, 2015 @ 5:23 pm REPLY
You can reheat either in the oven at 350 or in the microwave.

This is a simple breakfast porridge using oat bran, sugar can be added to taste (a small small drizzle of maple syrup works well) it takes about 3-5 minutes to make and is very filling.
note: I use 2% milk, you can use leaner milk for less fat content but be careful not to let it boil so it doesn't curdle. You can also substitute water for the milk without issue - I chose milk because I like it and it will keep me full.
