Dinner On The Table Fast
When you need a high protein, high quality, delicious dinner on the table fast, the CR'd frittata, aka The Tatta, is the way to go. This morning before work I mixed up an asparaga-tatta for MR: asparagus, 1/2 cup nonfat plain organic yogurt, a little less than a cup of eggwhites, and a dash of fresh ground pepper. He can throw it into the oven while I'm at work and just before dinner I'll top it with some fire-roasted Muir Glen organic tomatoes and some more yogurt for a creamy tomato topping. I'm serving hot apples in cinnamon and hazelnut oil for dessert. I will be eating my quotidian brewers yeast soup, this time with brussels sprouts as my crucifer of choice, and nonfat cottage cheese with flax oil and the omni-present Carolina Treet Carolina barbeque sauce.
Sometimes you just don't have a lot of time. I love to cook for my angel, but my work is so busy that I don't always get home in time to prepare a CR feast. The tatta is a quick and easy treat that is delicious with almost any combination of veggies. MR's favorites include asparagus, broccoli, red peppers (organic) shiitake mushrooms, and cauliflower. It's an excellent source of protein with no saturated fat, and you can top it with the oil of your choice after removing from the oven.
Luke just called me to confirm that I'm picking him up at 5:50 am... we're meeting our health care professionals in front of the hospital starting at 6:20 in the morning. My last day of work prior to the CR Conference... then Wednesday it's on a plane and off to Tucson!

And why exactly do you have to cook for MR when you're so busy and not sharing any of those meals with him? He is supposedly a CR master himself, why can't he cook his own breakfasts and dinners since you work like crazy and he doesn't, is my question for the week.

My Darling Zeynep,
I don't *have* to do any such thing! MR is more than capable of cooking his own dinners, and has done so for the last week. He has also cooked many of my dinners, and he makes my lunch every day and my megamuffins too because I can't be bothered. But I enjoy cooking for him, so I try to do so as much as possible. It's one of the many ways that we care for each other.
He makes all his own breakfasts... Breakfast Salad for a Giant Orange Man is more than I could handle at 5 am!

O.k, I get it now. It's just in your blog entries you make it sound like you're doing so much for him and he doesn't do anything for you, at least that's what I get from reading the posts psycho-analytically. But from what you say, it looks like that's not the case, so have a ball!
