Low Carb Leftovers Frittata

I am not big on wasting food, so when we have a little bit of this and a little bit of that leftover from our meals, I like to come up with creative ways to put them together into one more delicious meal. What easier way to do that than a frittata! We always have pastured eggs on hand (thanks, mom!) so it’s just too easy not to. You just need to get creative with your herb pairing to make the dish really come together.

Here are some herb pairing ideas: 

• Chicken: Bay Leaves. Chives, Dill, Garlic, Onion, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, Tarragon, Thyme
• Lamb: Basil, Garlic, Marjoram, Mint, Onion, Oregano, Rosemary, Savory, Thyme, Tarragon
• Pork: Basil, Bay Leaves, Dill, Garlic, Lemon Verbena, Marjoram, Onion, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, Tarragon, Thyme
• Beef: Basil, Bay Leaf, Chives, Garlic, Onion, Marjoram, Oregano, Rosemary, Tarragon, Thyme

Hi, my name is Kate.

I love food. Real food. We eat all of the things that nursing school taught me were bad for you: butter, eggs, bacon, and raw milk.

I am a Nurse, a Mom, and a Real Food loving blogger. Just trying to save the world.
