Your Tatta, Should You Choose To Accept It
All week I've been doing little birthday surprises for MR's birthday, and today's was lunch: a black bean and salsa tatta! I mixed 200 g black beans into 100 calories of eggwhites and four tablespoons of Trader Joe's pineapple salsa. He's been instructed to bake it in the oven at 300 for a little less than an hour, and then top with four more tablespoons (at 15 calories for two tablespoons, it's a steal!) of salsa and one teaspoon olive oil. Hazelnuts for added fat on the side.
We love the tatta. It's amazing how it turns out great almost no matter what you put in it: broccoli, tomatoes, apples, kale stems, black beans, salsa, you name it, I can tatta it.
It's been a great birthday week, I think, and I have enjoyed watching the Orange One age chronologically but not biologically. He's getting oranger every day!
I have so many things to be thankful for... CR, my friends and family, a job I love, the CR Society, the Mprize and all the fun I have coordinating events for people with vastly different dietary preferences, my Orange Angel, and last but certainly not least, the fact that my cat has not yet learned how to open the fridge and eat all its contents while I am at work. Please don't teach Kieffer that trick!
