For many of us, the holiday season is fueled by a constant stream of sugar. Between parties, gifts and festive meals out with loved ones, it’s safe to say we get our fair share of sweets. By the time late December rolls around, we’re ready to set aside the chocolates and candies for fresh, whole foods that will rejuvenate and re-energize us.
With a little help from this spinach frittata from Chef Coby Smith of The Hope Bistro at CARTI, we can recover, reset and start 2024 on the right foot.
