I had this Kale, Sweet Potato and Feta Frittata for breakfast, after this morning's chores. Lil' Foodie is doing ESY (extended school year) on Tuesdays & Thursdays this summer, to help keep her in the grove and give her some time with other kids in an environment that accommodates her special needs. Neither of us were particularly well prepared this morning. I was just pulling bean crackers out of the oven for her lunch about 20 minutes before the bus was due to arrive & as you can see below she wasn't "feeling it" this morning. Snoozing in bed was #1 on her mind.
We went outside to wait for the bus and it was refreshingly cool. She was still a bit groggy, but the fresh air seemed to lift her spirits a bit. The bus came and my little sweetheart was off to school.
In the hustle of the morning routine, I counted myself lucky that I'd managed to get some coffee brewed, but was getting a bit hungry. I wanted something substantial, that wouldn't blow my diet. I'm working on dropping about 10 pounds before fall, when the dangerous-to-the-waistline baking and holiday season kicks in.
An omelet or frittata featuring veggies was just the thing. For cheese, I only had crumbled feta on hand, so a frittata it would be.
I sauteed some sweet potato, kale and onion. The caramelization (especially of the kale) added a pleasant mild smokey flavor to the frittata.
If you are a fan of sweet potatoes try these air fryer sweet potato fries or my sweet potato muffins!

I love fritattas but I've never had one with sweet potato in it. I think the combination between the creamy sweet potato with the kale sounds so good.
Courtney says

I was just watching some show today where they served Frittatas for breakfast and thought to myself that I've never tried one before. Then seeing a frittata again here makes me think I need to try one.
