Today's Eats

I promise I will have a double-graduation-Washington DC post, but before I forget, I want to share a new tuna salad recipe. 

Joe and I will be going to the beach in less than two weeks, and I'm devoting the time to resetting my eating and exercising habits, for both short and long term goals. I will be posting some of the more inspiring meals over the next week and a half and the first one is a tuna salad recipe that I highly recommend.

Ingredients
~ 1 can of tuna packed in water
~ 1/2 cup of black beans, heated, drained and rinsed
~ 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
~ 1/4-1/2 of an avocado, cut into small chunks

Directions
~ Mix together
~ Eat plain or with tortilla chips

Super easy and really tasty.

Also, gluten free pizza dough mixes, like Namaste, make some pretty good flatbread.

But what to spread on the flatbread? How about a cannellini bean spread?

Ingredients
~ 1 can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
~ 1 tablespoon of chives or rosemary
~ 2 tablespoons of olive oil
~ juice from half a lemon
~ 1 clove of garlic crushed
~ salt and pepper
~ any other spices you think might taste good- paprika, basil, etc

Directions
~ Blend all ingredients together in a blender or food processor
~ Put in jar to store in the fridge
~ Spread on flatbread, eat, say "mmmm"
