Bacon & Potato Frittata with Lima Beans & Arugula!
A frittata is the perfect thing to make with whatever you have on hand. Since I have been trying to get more fiber from whole foods these days, I have started meal prepping beans every week to incorporate into my meals, and I just love the combination of beans and eggs!
I also really like adding potatoes to my scrambled eggs -- potato adds a nice, starchy bite and they also add volume to make a really nice sized meal!
...and it's amazing how just one piece of bacon is all you need to get all of the bacony goodness you sometimes crave at breakfast (and, yes, I included the 9g of bacon grease in the macros)! If you love bacon, go ahead and add a piece, it's okay!
...and if you don't love bacon, swap it for whatever you like! This would be so good topped with cheese too. The possibilities are endless!

FitOver50FoodieI make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals!When I hit my 50s and went into menopause, it felt like my body had been taken over by an alien! Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!
I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.
Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!
