Tuna Salad

If you’re like most people, you’re not getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. What I like to do is eat canned tuna once a week. Tuna contains mercury so you should eat it in moderation. I found this website: http://kosherfood.about.com/od/tunafish/qt/tuna.htm that tells you more about the benefits of tuna and gives you guidelines of how much canned tuna you should eat. This is how I like to make my canned tuna:

1 can of tuna, drained

Amount varies to your taste, minced celery, and/ or minced onion

4-6 T mayonnaise
1 T mustard
1-2 hard-boiled egg, minced
Dash of salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients.

I have variation on how I like to eat the tuna. One way, is to make it as a sandwich with toasted bread. I sometime put the tuna over lettuce. Sometimes I boil egg noodles and eat the tuna over the warm noodles.

Hello! Welcome to my home cooking blog!

I love cooking at home. It saves me a lot of time and home cooked meals always taste better. They especially taste better when someone else makes it for you. When I go to restaurants, the consistency of the quality of service and quality of food is not always the same. The conversations can’t always be as intimate when the waiter keeps going to your table to fill your water glass, etc. Then you get this large bill that you have to pay for and I think I could have had better food at home.

I realize when you are tired and worked all day; you sometimes may not have the energy to cook at home. But you can make a quick satisfying meal. I pull out a can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken soup. Follow the directions on the can. Add extra black pepper. Then you have the choice of adding one of the following to the soup:  frozen broccoli, frozen spinach, fresh mushrooms, or fresh red pepper. Each vegetable makes the soup taste delicious.
