Monday Meals: Mushroom and Spinach Frittata

Eggs are your ally when you need a quick satisfying meal. This recipe for Spinach and Mushroom Frittata from New York Times Cooking  pairs the ubiquitous refrigerator resident with bagged spinach and pre-sliced mushrooms, offering a nutritious and convenient meal in no time.

Eggs provide protein, as well as Vitamin D and choline. Spinach is a powerhouse, loaded with beta-carotene, fiber, potassium, iron, magnesium and folate.

Mushrooms that are grown in natural light or UV light are a unique plant source of vitamin D. Most of us are running low on this important sunlight-derived  nutrient, especially in the winter months.
