Happy Friday!
Seriously. Where did the week go?
Yesterday, Meighan and I treated our dad’s to a day at the PGA Golf Tournament. We are exhausted at the end of the day, but it was worth it. The smiles on their faces were priceless. I’ll be blogging all about that on Monday in my recap post. I decided to leave you guys with a recipe today! I have about an hour before heading to boot camp, so I chose an easy one!
You’re probably wondering why I’m blogging a buffalo chicken recipe because you all know how vocal I am about my hatred for blue cheese and buffalo flavored anything. But, I know some of you LOVE the combo, including my boyfriend. I made this recipe months ago, and it was one of Kyle’s favorites! It was so easy to make, it’s low carb, high protein, and perfect for any time of the day. It’s a great recipe to meal prep too!

You can make it easy on yourself and buy grilled chicken already made at the grocery store, or you could grill it yourself! Whatever works for you 🙂 I highly recommend making these in the cast iron! It makes the eggs so crispy on the side.
These frittatas are perfect for a post workout or meal prep. It makes eight servings, and each serving has 16 grams of protein and only 2 grams of carbs! I made mine with goat cheese, sweet potato, and spinach.Recipe here.
You don’t have to have a cast iron pan to make this recipe. You can make them with any oven safe dish or a cupcake pan!
You’ll know when it’s done because the center will be slightly bouncy and the edges will be golden.
Make sure to let it cool before cutting into it!
Store in a container in the refrigerator!
Questions for you!
- Are you a buffalo chicken person?
- What about blue cheese?
- What would you add to your frittata?

Hey Taralynn! I was so excited to try your new recipe and it turned out to be a great success! My boyfriend and I have been trying to eat healthy and get more active! I also did you pb oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies and we have to hide them from plain sight! Hahaha! Thank you for being an inspiration to us and showing the good, the bad, and the ugly that each and every one of us faces this journey! It’s not always easy but when I make a mistake or slip up, I turn to your blog and try to reconcile that “hey it’s okay I’m human and here’s what I can do better for next time.” Thank you for giving me that! I look forward to your other recipes! 🙂

I love the idea of using the cupcake pan to make these. I will have to try this out and top it with celery.

Oh my gosh, I still can’t stomach blue cheese! How many tries did you have to give it so that you’d start liking it?
Taralynn McNitt
August 12, 2017
Awww thank you!!! Yeah, I can’t do blue cheese, but I can do goat!

Blue cheese is the WORST! Ugh. I hate it so much. My grandpa made me a salad once then ruined it by adding a ton of blue cheese. I tried so hard to eat it. I failed..
But I think a lot of people will really like this recipe!
