Italian Sausage Frittata
Instructions
  1. Preheat the broiler. Cut the sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and sauté 3 minutes. Add the sausage, onion, and spinach and sauté 3 minutes, stirring several times. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whish the whole eggs, egg whites, and milk together. Tear the basil into small pieces and add to the egg mixture along with the black pepper.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir vegetables to make sure the egg mixture spreads throughout the pan. Press the sausage and vegetables into the egg mixture. Turn the heat to low and cook 10 minutes. Frittata will be mostly cooked through.
  5. Place the frittata under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to brown. Watch to make sure the top doesn’t brown too much.
  6. To serve, loosen frittata around edges, cut in half, and slip each half onto an individual plate.

White Chicken Chili
Instructions
  1. Poach the chicken breasts in water with lemon juice. Add squeezed lemon halves to poaching liquid. (This will allow the lemon oil released from the rind to flavor the poaching liquid.)  Cook, covered, over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Cut into thickest part of breast to see that meat is no longer pink. Remove and shred when cooled.
  2. Heat oil, add onion and cook for five minutes. Add garlic, chiles, cumin, coriander, oregano and cayenne.  Stir until blended.
  3. Add the beans, stock and shredded chicken. Add the stock and stir.
  4. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer 20-30 minutes. (Better reheated).
  5. Serve with dollop of low-fat sour cream and/or grated reduced fat cheese.
