WIC Inspired Recipes: Frittata Muffins
Nonstick cooking spray
6 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
Salt & pepper
½ cup shredded cheese
Your choice of vegetables. I like to use the following:
⅓ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup chopped bell pepper
⅓ cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)
½ cup chopped portobello mushrooms
1 zucchini, sliced thin
Heat oven to 350, spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ¼ tsp salt, ⅛ tsp pepper. Stir in cheese & vegetables of your choice. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Add one slice of zucchini to each muffin cup & press into egg mixture until covered. Bake for 20 minutes. Let the frittata muffins cool for 5 minutes, then remove from cups & serve. To reheat any leftovers, place in the microwave for 30 seconds. Enjoy!

Expecting A Baby in 2022? Let Texas WIC Help
If you are expecting a baby in 2022, Texas WIC can help you get off to a healthy start.
The program is open to eligible expecting mothers and mothers with children up to age five. To qualify, Texas residents must meet certain income requirements. (Learn more about the requirements below.)
Texas WIC benefits are offered to qualifying expectant mothers in order to help them get proper nutrition and education while they are pregnant.
Pregnant mothers can even get a free food package to help ensure they are getting healthy foods. Expecting mothers can access their FREE benefits with a Texas WIC ebt card, which allows clients to pay for their FREE monthly WIC food benefits such as eggs, cereal, fruits and vegetables and more!
The WIC program also provides important pregnancy education, including FREE online classes that help mothers to be on everything from how to plan for a healthy pregnancy and how to eat healthy while pregnant. Their education guidance also helps mothers know what to expect during pregnancy.
The program continues to help once the baby arrives by providing breastfeeding support and access to healthy nutrition for mothers and their babies.
Mothers can access all their WIC benefits in an easy, hassle-free shopping experience at any Lone Star Family Market store. There are 7 locations in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos. All the groceries in the Primarily WIC store are WIC approved, and our bilingual clerks help make WIC shopping super easy. Find a location online at LoneStarFamilyMarket.com/locations.
