My Clean Office Desk

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to refill my desk at work with healthier, CE ( emergency ) lunch and snack options for when I get caught short. Here’s what I bought and is now occupying the lower right drawer:

2 sm cans Goya black beans
5 cans white albacore tuna ( I dislike chunk light! )
1 package Wasa bread ( sourdough flavor )
1 jar Skippy peanut butter***
1 box Better Oats Abundance Maple & Brown Sugar multigrain hot cereal ( 5 individual servings )
1 box Celestial Seasonings Black Cherry Berry tea bags
1 bag CVS roasted and salted almonds ( lightly roasted, lightly salted – yum )
1 canister organic raisins

 ** Note: I compared Skippy to many Natural and Organic brands, and found the lower fat version to be almost identical in most ways, in nearly all ingredients to the other organic versions. I like Skippy, I've got a bunch in my house - I'm sticking with Skippy. If you feel an organic product is better - by all means, chose what is best for you. I am not entirely convinced that in this one area, the National brand is "too processed"

Middle Eastern Eggplant Ratatouie

Rich and flavorful, this chunky low calorie Middle Eastern eggplant ratatouille makes a delicious side for a family dinner or an inviting appetizer for your next get together.. I love recipes from Middle Eastern countries like like Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Morocco,and Israel which are famous for their tasty eggplant dishes. This family recipe is a middle Eastern classic that is like a stew- tender, satisfying and easy to make. The secret to the recipe is roasting , not frying, the eggplant and veggies. Roasting brings out the vegetable's natural sweetness, saves calories, and is easier on the digestion than frying. This eggplant recipe is my version of one of my mother in laws authentic recipes that she brought with her from the old country. It is so versatile that we enjoy in a variety of ways: Over Baptismal rice or cauliflower rice,  Paired as a side dish with a bean dish,  As a topping for an omelette ( really good)  Or a cold or hot appetizer with crudites or gluten fre...

Plantain Pizza Crust ( GF)

This recipe makes a fast and easy homemade pizza crust that you can make from start to finish in 25 minutes. The secret is a little known savory" fruit" called a plantain. Plantains are in the banana family, but when they are green, they are much starchier and not at all sweet. They are rich in vitamins A and C and low in calories ( 90 calories /cup) and low in fat. In their starchy state ( when they are green),plantains are perfect for making gluten free crusts, crackers, flatbreads, etc. Plantains that are still green enough to make pizza crust A few months ago, my friend Laura introduced me to a delicious gluten free flatbread that she had made using plantains. Up until that point, I really didn't know what to do with a plantain. I barely even knew what they were. Today, I made my first gluten free pizza crust using a single green plantain that cost me 50 cents. The pizza crust was so easy to make, it bordered on ridiculous. I just peeled and cut one plantain into...
