What has led me to continuously search for a tuna recipe? Well I am getting older and once again I find myself living alone. Preparing tuna has got to be the easiest foods to make. Now with those pouches its even easier. The only thing is I need a serving size bigger than the small one and smaller than the big one! I also require to find something more imaginative to do with it other than fling in some mayonnaise and mix it up. I need a good tuna recipe that is quick and easy. I have tried making a cold noodle and some tuna salad.
I don’t care much for pasta but that seems alright. During the summer months I do love grilling a piece of tuna outdoors. That is something to look forward too. But I need some variations for those cold winter months when we are stuck indoors. A pack of tuna, some mayo, and one of the 90 second microwave rice packs are right now my habitual diet. A recipe that I really dig for its simplicity and nutrition, and how quickly it can be thrown together, is South Beach Tuna Salad. As Dieting involves lot of hardwork,this is one way that I have found to loose weight and reduce the inches faster.
It doesnt take a lot of time or effort to make. It combines mostly green vegetables such as lettuce, celery, green onions and of course tuna. I find this is one of the easiest ways to diet. Hie to the local supermarket where you can get all the fresh things you need to put together a big tuna salad. A great dressing over the salad includes lime juice, garlic and salt and pepper mixed and poured above it. Cover it and put it in refrigerator, it remains fresh for two or three days approximately and helps in reducing weight quickly and easily.
It tastes superb and more so if you happen to be garlic fan like I am and you may any time add a little more for better flavor. By far one of the best diet foods I have had in a long time. Ahhh: tuna cassarole, you either love it or hate it. Usually I always like tuna casserole sprinkled with potato chips on the top and made with mushroom soup cream. Well, I did like it until, I gave birth to my fourth child. My neighbor, Zola, in a gesture of good will asked if she would bring dinner over. I refused stating that my parents were helping me but she insisted. Over she came with this horrible smelling tuna casserole.
She plopped it down on the kitchen counter with the explanation that SHE loved tuna casserole but every time she made it her husband went to Jack-in-the-Box. My family sat down to eat. My father took one bite and said: ‘Call Zola and ask her which Jack-in-the-box her husband goes to. That said it all’it ruined tuna casseroles forever for those of us that like it. Even the dog turned his nose up at it.
