What to Eat When the Husband Is Away

I've cooked and eaten some great food the last couple of weeks. My husband has been on a business trip, so I have taken the opportunity to make the foods that sound great to me. From reading this blog, you might remember that my husband refuses to eat most vegetables, which are my favorite. So, these recipes center around veggies. This one was my favorite. I'll post more soon.
Roasted Vegetable Frittata
2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 tbsp. milk
1 zucchini, chopped into 1" pieces
1-2 squash, chopped into 1" pieces
1/2 medium red onion, chopped into 1" pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1" pieces
1 tsp. olive oil
salt and pepper
2 oz. goat cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In small bowl, toss vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly on cookie sheet and place in hot oven. Roast for approximately 20-25 minutes until veggies are cooked.Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Spray an 8-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add roasted vegetables to the skillet, then pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Crumble goat cheese over eggs and vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top. Enjoy!
Sorry for the blurry picture. I haven't been trying very hard to take good pictures lately.
