Curry In A Hurry With Tasty Bite
Manhattan apartment + Manhattan schedule = NO COOKING
Tasty Bite is an ideal way for me to “make” an easy and inexpensive meal either in my studio kitchen or at the office. Available in a variety of flavors and cuisines, the packages require no cooking (magical phrase) plus can be stored at room temperature outside of a refrigerator until opening. My favorite is the Sprouts Curry & Basmati Rice ($3.69 at Whole Foods), pre packaged vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free pouch of curry plus rice with no preservatives or MSG added. One box contains 363 calories, 1g of fat, 12g fiber, 14g of protein and only 4g of sugar. Fresh health food and whole meals definitely shouldn’t be passed over for this 2 minute microwave dish but for those times when you’re a) on a budget, b) have limited space to cook, c) wanting a healthy instant option or d) all of the above (in my case) then Tasty Bite will certainly make it happen. I often skip the rice and add extra firm plain tofu to increase the protein content (if you heat it all together, the tofu takes on the taste of the curry and blends together as one cohesive meal). Depending on your appetite, heat the entire box up and save half in a Tupperware for later in the week.
