Mushroom, Tomato, & Basil Frittata & Simple Raspberries Chocolate Dessert

Sounds Fancy Right? It's actually very similar to an omelet. I love this recipe because it is so easy and doesn't take much time to make! Great for busy days! So how do you make mushroom,tomato, & basil frittata? Its simple let me show you!

Ingredients:
1/2 medium onion, minced (I almost always use yellow onions because there less strong so they don't overpower dishes)
3 medium cloves garlic minced (you can buy it fresh and chop it yourself or buy minced garlic it tells you measurements comparsion to cloves on the jar)
1 Tablespoon +1 Tablespoon chicken broth (chicken broth is the best to saute food its so low in calories only 10 calories per cup!)
1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms (the recipe calls for crimini but use what you like I use baby Bella most of the time)
1/2 medium tomato (or handful of grape tomatoes cut in half I use these cause I like to also eat grape tomatoes as a snack)
3 large eggs beaten
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and black pepper to taste

1. Chop up onions, garlic,mushrooms, tomatoes, & basil
2. On Medium heat in a medium saucepan add tablespoon of chicken broth and onions and cook while stirring for 3 minutes.
3. Add Mushroom and garlic for additional 2 minutes stir occassionally
4. Add another tablespoon of chicken broth and tomatoes and basil a little salt and pepper and let cook for 1 minute
5. Then turn down to low heat and pour over evenly beaten eggs, cover Sauscepan with a lid and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until firm. (I have an electric stove so it takes around 8 minutes gas stoves usually are stronger and usually only need the shorter side of time)
Calories around 300 Says it serves two and one serving is 150 calories, for dinner I eat 2 servings

Simple Raspberries Chocolate Dessert

Want to add some fruit to your diet and still get your chocolate fix? Ok well I do! Cause I'm a Chocoholic and love my sweets!

Ingredients:
8 Fresh Raspberries
2 Tablespoons (approximately) Hershey's Genuine Chocolate Syrup (do not get flavored syrup get real chocolate syrup because flavored tastes nasty)

So Raspberries have this perfect hole to fill with chocolate syrup adds enough chocolate to give it flavor without having to use a lot of chocolate! So just fill up the top with chocolate syrup!

2 Tablespoons of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup is 100 calories & Raspberries are around 1 calorie each your looking at 110 calorie dessert! Plus you got the benefit of Raspberries which Raspberries possess almost 50% higher antioxidant activity than strawberries, three times that of kiwis, and ten times the antioxidant activity of tomatoes. So enjoy your healthy dessert!
