Diet - Spinach Frittata

A Frittata is an Italian omelet with cheese, meat or vegetables mixed into the eggs, as opposed to an American omelet that folds the ingredients inside the eggs. This Frittata recipe makes for a special breakfast or an easy dinner!

Ingredients
1 tsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3 C. fresh baby spinach
3 eggs
4 egg whites
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, minced
3/4 lb. red potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 T. fresh basil, chopped
1/4 C. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions
Preheat broiler on high and position the rack 4 inches from the top of the oven.

In a large, nonstick frying pan with a flameproof handle, heat 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Set the frying pan aside.

In a bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Set aside.

Return the frying pan to medium heat and heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the bell pepper and the potatoes and cook until the potatoes begin to brown but are still tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.

Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the pan. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle with the basil. Pour in the beaten eggs and sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Cook until slightly set, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Carefully place the pan under the broiler and broil until the frittata is brown and puffy and completely set, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Fitness Tips: Cross Training to Burn Fat and Get in Shape Faster!

Cross training is one of the best workouts for burning fat and getting in shape because it combines a variety of different exercises. Some cross trainers prefer to swim, ride a bike, hike, walk, run, etc. Others choose to use fitness equipment (like the Tuff Stuff CXT-100) that allows them to do more than one exercise on the same machine.

A huge advantage of this form of exercise is that there is less chance for boredom. By doing only one form of exercise, you can easily burn out and get sick of it. By changing up your workout, the routine is always different and boredom is thus avoided.

Another advantage of cross training is that all of your muscle groups are being worked and developed. When you build muscle you’re also burning fat, so by developing the muscles in your body, you can speed your weight loss even more.

One cool thing you can do when you begin cross training is to keep records of the time and distance that you cover. As your fitness level increases, you will build up your endurance and measure your progress. It will also allow you to know when it's time to step it up to the next level.

Diet - Sweet and Sour Mahi Mahi

This Sweet and Sour Mahi Mahi is bursting with flavor! It only takes 30 minutes to prepare (20 minutes are for marinating!) - it's a snap and soooooooooo delicious. You'll love it!

Ingredients

3 T. honey
3 T. soy sauce
3 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, crushed or to taste
2 tsp. olive oil
4 (6 oz.) mahi mahi fillets
1 T. vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish and serve immediately.
