Mother’s Day: Kale Frittata

Kale Frittata

Mother’s Day was a big deal in my family when I was growing up.

In retrospect, it’s interesting that we attempted to “gift” my mother through a homemade meal. We would make breakfast and surprise her with breakfast in bed.  Obviously, after the first year it wasn’t a surprise anymore. However, just the idea of forcing Mom to sit back, to take a deep breath, and to enjoy the tables turned as her own children made her some nourishing food was beyond fulfilling.

The tradition exists in my own family as well. Whenever I have a special day (which is usually my birthday and Mother’s Day), I’m greeted in bed with a makeshift breakfast from my kids. Usually it’s no more than a bowl of cereal, a glass of juice, and perhaps a side of yogurt but, witnessing the accomplished looks on their faces as they set up my lap tray is priceless.

They’re proud, bursting with love and admiration and most importantly, appreciation.

That’s how I hope to look and feel every time I’m cooking and sharing a homemade meal for them.

This Mother’s Day, start your day the right way with a healthy breakfast-in-bed option. We do love our eggs and we adore kale so, their merger is the perfect union.

This Kale Frittata recipe is light and tasty and quite nutritious with the addition of the kale (its high concentration and excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K can’t be beat). Plus, it only takes 30 minutes to prepare and cook. And, if you’ve got some Nature’s Greens cooking greens on hand, they are triple-washed, and ready-to-use so you don’t even need to worry about wasting time washing the leaves.

Wishing everyone a very happy Mother’s Day (today and every day).
