hey folks,
i'm on a tight budget, aren't we all, and eat a lot of tuna. it's cheap and good for ya. but, i'm bored with it.

anyone have any suggestions....(my fridge broke, so i'm a little limited)

currently i use lots of soy and teriyaki...

anyway, just curious..

thanks

 

mix with chopped boiled eggs and celery. very good

 

So when you stop if you can pick up bag of fresh salad and mayo. Just toss and add pickles. Good way to get your veggies.

 

or toss with some fresh spinach and some of that already cooked pasta and some ranch dressing... one of my faves

 

thanks...i'll try it all...i appreciate it.

 

Here's an Italian twist:

1 serving of pasta
1 head of rappini (a bitter vegitable that looks like a cross between spinach & broccoli)
1 can tuna
Parmesan cheese to taste
1-2 cloves of garlic (to taste)
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil

Prep: Dice garlic and chop the rapini leaves (it's okay to include some of the stem)

1. Boil the pasta as usual
2. Fry or Stir fry the garlic in the olive oil until golden brown
3. Add the rappini & cook until soft (about 5 minutes.) Like spinach it will shrink while cooking.
4. Turn off heat & mix the rapini & pasta (in a serving bowl if you wish)
5. Add the tuna & mix in
6. Serve with Parmesan cheese on top.

Variations:
Use a 50/50 mix of spinach & rappini for a sweeter version
Use egg noodles instead of pasta

P.S. I wouldn't eat canned tuna more than once a week - too much mercury

Tuna, mayo, onion or onion powder, mix together, add some diced tomato, put in a tortilla, warmed if possible, fold it up like a burrito and enjoy.

Can add celery, diced bell peppers, eggs, lettuce, pickle relish (think dill is better).

Better watch that soy and terriaki sauce. Enough salt in that stuff to give a corpse high blood pressure.

 

stop having boring tuna

 

i'd sometimes buy tuna packed in olive oil. thought that had more flavor and supposedly olive oil is good for you.

I don't see those very often though. I might try getting some olive oil seperate and just add it.
