My husband has one of the coolest jobs
(This post may contain affiliate links)
He gets to travel around the state helping companies with their widget woes
Sometimes, schedule permitting, I'm able to ride along
It's always fun
He drops me off at small-town coffee shops for the day, does his thing, and later on, we head back home together

Last week, a few days of travel coincided perfectly with a series in the NYTimes about frittatas. Since I couldn't go along, I thought, “I'll make up a few small ones with different flavor combos.”
They were easy and portable for him to take along for breakfast as he headed out the door, broken up in a whole wheat wrap, or sandwiched into an English muffin.
Loved the combination of fresh herbs with the different green veggies
Frittatas are so forgiving
Parmesan added to round out the flavor
Enjoy

ps: To make this a complete meal, you'll want to add something to round out the carb count.
Some ideas:
half of the frittata with an apple or half the frittata, broken up and wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla
