Mysty PfefferI’m always on the lookout for easy breakfasts and a colorful cauliflower/carrot frittata fits the bill. It’s simple, delicious, and lasts several days in the fridge. The good news for my low carb and gluten free friends is it fits into their eating patterns, too!
Although serving it with some slices of No Knead Bread or adding some quinoa would make it just perfectly fiber-filled for me!
The cauliflower and carrots are going to provide vitamins, and minerals, while using left over ground meat, salmon, or chicken adds extra protein. You and I need the protein to start our day, so we feel full longer and utilize the amnio acids to restore and repair our cells.
This particular dish just happens to be lower in carbs too. However, I’m already thinking it needs a half a cup of cooked quinoa to provide extra fiber and nutrients.
What God puts in the garden is good! I love sampling all the goodies he has to offer and sharing them with you.
You know, an interesting thing I notice about God by reading scripture is He is always testing us. I guess that is why He places us in situations that provide luxurious food, overabundance, and opportunity. He wants to see how we respond.
Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

We see compassion for the crowds in Jesus’ words and actions. He is ready to feed 5000+ people with 5 loaves and two fish. Phillip responds like most of us do, blurting out how much money it would take to do this task.
Do you take comfort in God’s testing, knowing he has your best interest at heart? Every experience He takes us through brings us closer to Him. He is pretty awesome!
The colorful cauliflower/carrot frittata is proof of His divine nature in the things he makes, too!
I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!
