DIY Meal Kits | Week 7

Today’s recipe is a basic Frittata. A Frittata is sometimes described as a crustless quiche or even a baked omelet. The recipe I am linking is easily adaptable and simple to double. It also provides delicious leftovers.

Before I get started, I have a couple of housekeeping notes. I have decided that instead of posting these DIY meal kit recipes on Mondays, I’m going to combine them with the Friday Posts that I like to write. That should make weekend grocery shopping trips easier to plan. In the past, Friday posts have been sporadic, but there will be one every week now unless I announce otherwise. Expect recipes and more old house-related talk and links too. I’m posting this recipe today, and I will post a second recipe on Friday to fit in with the new routine.

If you are unfamiliar with the BHH concept of DIY meal kits, please read this post first. The initial recipe post in this series is also helpful and informative. Note: Most of our recipes are for vegetarian DIY meal kits.

Basic Frittata

Recipe: Chickpea and Rosemary Baked Frittata

Recipe Notes:

• I added an extra egg since because the recipe called for four large eggs and I only had medium eggs. 
• This recipe suggests a springform pan, but an 8-inch cake or cast-iron pan will work just as well too. 
• Although the recipe said it should cook in 15 minutes, mine took 25. 
• I served the Frittata with steamed broccoli and apple cinnamon muffins that I baked ahead. 

Have you ever eaten a Frittata or baked one? I may be weird, but I prefer it cold, so I am a big fan of leftovers. Also, please let me know if you have tried any of the DIY meal kit recipes or if you are making meal kits at home. Be sure to use our tag on Instagram too! #bhhmealkits

I am deep into floor refinishing planning and cleaning the basement and carting my kids around. Adding DIY meal kits to the fridge has been so helpful. Not having to figure out what to make for dinner means I am a much happier person. I would love to hear how the DIY meal kit concept is working in your house.

Storage containers:
We use these Sistema KLIP IT boxes (shown today) or the larger size depending on our needs. We are also big fans of 1.3 cup Snapware* for small portions. They fit nicely in the Sistema Klip-it storage boxes. I also recently added these tiny lidded glass containers (intended for baby food, but they work perfectly for spices or small portions).

*This links to the plastic version, but we prefer glass. Unfortunately, the glass containers, sold in sets of four, seem difficult to find now. This 10-piece set includes the small Snapware containers we use as well as some additional, useful sizes.
