Dessert

My new favorite dessert - and kind of not bad for me either!

Watermelon
Olive oil
Feta cheese

Mint leaves (torn)
Dash of salt

Yep.  That's all.  Build it and eat it and LOVE it.  




STFD!

Tonight's dinner is brought to you by the letters STFD - Shut The Front Door!  It was so good.  I haven't blogged for a bit due to a high protein diet I've been on but thought I'd blog about my new eating regime.  High proteins, low carbs, still delicious!  (and vegetarian - NOT vegan)

Black beans make a great starting point for a Southwest style patty.  Or mash.  See below.  Mix it up.  Cook it up.  Eat it up.  Try it again.  Make it your own.

1 can black beans, minced down
1 diced white onion
2 anaheim peppers (I would add jalepeno's but didn't have them - go as spicy as you want.  Anaheims aren't that spicy, at least to me)
Salt/pepper to taste
3 egg whites (voila!  protein!)
Shredded cheese - I used Monterey Jack but cheddar would work as well
Crushed tortilla chips

Mix all that together and cook in just a bit of olive oil.  Serve with your favorite SW-inspired foods - tortillas, avocado, cheese, rice or ???



I ate mine soft taco style with flour tortillas (the last of my allowed carbs for the week), more cheese thrown on top and an avocado, the fruit of the Gods.  The pictures may not give them the proper justice.  So freaking good!!
