Frittata is an easy way to sneak in extra veggies, without them being too noticeable.
Make it mini:
Use muffin tins for individually portioned frittatas, perfect for meal prep or lunch boxes.
Use what you have:

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan=forced (180°C conventional).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cheese (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork to mix everything thoroughly. Add the roasted vegetables, peas, snake beans, spinach and herbs to the bowl (save a little of the soft herb for garnish). Fold the ingredients into the egg mixture, using the fork.
Heat a non-stick ovenproof pan (approximately 26cm) over a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the butter and let it melt and sizzle. Pour the frittata mixture into the pan, then jiggle the pan gently to distribute the contents evenly. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer it to the preheated oven for approximately 25—30 minutes, or until the middle of the frittata is just firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10—20 minutes.
Use a spatula to carefully remove the frittata from the pan and slice it into wedges or squares. Garnish with the reserved soft herbs, a sprinkle of salt flakes and a crack of pepper.

Why I'm worried for the 'digital nomads' camping on our city's streets
IN the past year, there have been scores of mobile homes parked on the Stockton ballast, car parks and foreshores. They comprise caravans, trailer homes, campervans, buses, and tents. Speaking to several, they described themselves as "digital working nomads". They work remotely from home. The COVID pandemic made this feasible. A glimpse of the interior of one home revealed a workstation resplendent with a computer, printer and wifi. Another camper offers his motor and handyman services. Most have been impacted by the housing crisis. Their journeys are often dictated by the seasons. They tell me they camp near beaches, creeks and roadsides, and often at country showgrounds where there is protection, facilities and contact with like-minded travellers. Isn't this situation evocative of the 1930s or the Great Depression, when the economy took a downward turn? The building and manufacturing industries were in the doldrums, unemployment benefits were cut, and people were forced to seek work and became dependent on the goodwill of the community. In history and folklore, they became the swaggies and hawkers. The digital working nomad is apparently one of Australia's fastest-growing working groups and part of a worldwide trend. The average age seems to be about 40. This includes both males and females. As indistinguishable from the 1930s, they are also dependent on the generosity, tolerance and the kindness of strangers. I WAS discharged today from Scott Ward at Lake Macquarie Private Hospital, and I would like to convey my gratitude for the care of my procedure on Tuesday, when my prostate urolift was performed by Dr Peter Chong. Dr Chong's skills and professional care are really appreciated, and the attendance to my anaesthesia by Dr Jason Denmeade is also remembered as a comforting experience during and post-op. I needed to stay overnight, and the nursing staff were outstanding. Particular mention to Sue during the day, who was always caring and, during the night shift, a senior nurse, Amanda, was professional in every way and helped make my stay as comfortable as possible. I just want to make the point that Lake Mac Private and all involved in hospital care deserve to be recognised for the clean and thorough medical services they provide. I've been watching The Piano on ABC TV. It is hosted by Amanda Keller and showcases non-professional pianists from around the country. An upright piano is put on a small stage in a public place, such as Central Station in Sydney or Preston Fresh Produce Market in Melbourne. People are invited to tell their story, then play their chosen piece of music. There are two judges who are hidden from the participants. One judge is Harry Connick Jr, and the other is Australian concert pianist Andrea Lam. All participants are asked to return in the afternoon and be introduced to the judges. One of the participants is selected to perform at a concert at the City Recital Hall in Sydney on the final day. So far, it has been a heart-warming experience with children as young as 12, teenagers of 17 and 18, and adults (one was 103). I look forward to watching the final two episodes on the next two Sunday nights. LABOR has approved the extension of the North West Shelf gas plant in Western Australia. Royalties, taxes and jobs will be the reward for the nation from this approval, albeit the gas is primarily for export where it will be used to increase CO2 emissions and keep power bills affordable. I wonder if this explosion of common sense will occur again, with Labor forcing NSW and Victoria governments to open new gas fields on the eastern seaboard for domestic use? That would create more jobs, taxes and royalties and lower power bills. I wonder how the ABC and Greenies will handle this recent explosion of gas, common sense and reason. JUNE 1 marked the beginning of World Haemochromatosis Week. This is a reminder that sometimes our bodies can get too much of a good thing. Haemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder in Australia, causing the body to absorb too much iron from food. Left untreated, this iron overload can damage organs and lead to serious illness or premature death. It's easy to test for, simple to treat, but too often missed. Early symptoms like fatigue or aching joints are common to many conditions, meaning diagnosis is frequently delayed. The good news? If caught early, haemochromatosis is manageable and poses no barrier to a full and healthy life. Treatment is often as simple as giving blood. During World Haemochromatosis Week, I urge readers to ask their doctor about iron studies and haemochromatosis or visit A simple test could save a life. I plead guilty ("Lord mayor queried over 'help' sessions', Newcastle Herald, 31/5). I attended an Our Newcastle meeting and helped some people work out how their submissions fitted into the themes and IT requirements of the Davidson portal. I thought I was just being civic-minded. In any case, I didn't hear these community voices in the final report. WITH the approval of the extension on the North-West Shelf gas plant to 2070, I wonder how many people will push over the $3 million superannuation tax bracket? WHILE economists constantly bleat about productivity, a day after the feds approve Woodside's North-West Shelf climate bomb, Victoria approves a gas import terminal. Now we can give away huge amounts of our gas overseas only to buy it back to supply the eastern states. Instead of cracking down on this market-driven farce, Labor and the Coalition bow down while we and our productivity suffer. Brilliant. JENNA Price ("Fuss over tax anything but super", Opinion 30/5): If you think that it is not such a bad tax plan and will affect only the uber-rich, why consider an out clause for politicians? When my grandchildren retire from working hard and saving for their retirement, they will fall within the $3 million umbrella, and, as it is not indexed, what will the government waste that tax on? ANOTHER rort to be aware of: when buying a motor vehicle with slimline number plates, these are already fitted to the vehicle and obviously paid for by the previous owner. Yet when changing rego into your name, as is law, you will incur a $40 fee on top of the regular transfer fee and stamp duty charge. Just another hidden rort cost.
