MoonSiren 48 Posted January 10, 2012 I made a tuna melt with cheese. It turned out really good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.Newme 21 Posted January 10, 2012 I have a recipe, it was prior to my sleeve, but it does taste pretty good. Hopefully you like it. But based on the ingredients and the amoutn, you will probably have a bunch of leftovers. 1 can of albacore tuna 1 small onion 1 can of cream of mushroom Soup 1/2 Soup can of low-fat milk Salt & Pepper Olive oil Butter season 1 small can of peas toasted bread with healthy spread dice up onion and brown in olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. Add butter season if you like flavor. drain peas, drain tuna. add cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 can of milk to pan with onion mix add tuna, add peas Heat until near boiling, stirring occasionally When heated, put on top of toast. The toast soaks it up and gets really mushy, but this is very flavorful. Save leftovers for later or feed rest to family/friends drain can of 2 Tenshi and Christina B1128 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andersonlj 32 Posted January 10, 2012 I made a quick meal tonight with tuna. 1 can tuna drained. 1 handful of uncooked noodles 1/2 can cream mushroom Soup 1/2 package of frozen peas/carrots 1/4 skim milk Cook noodles until tender. Add tuna, soup, milk and veggies that I had thawed. Let simmer for about 15 minutes. I then put this in my small food chopper and made it a little smoother. Mades enough for several meals so I froze some. 1 Mrs.Newme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATeam 38 Posted January 15, 2012 Mmm, those sound good- i love a tuna casserole. Right now I am in love With those tiny cans of tuna that are flavored. Thai peanut, lemon and dill, lemon pepper, sundried tomato... They are delicious and have 18 grams of Protein per can! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Escape_Pod 358 Posted January 15, 2012 For an easy lunch, I like tuna mixed with cottage cheese. You could add some green onion, or celery bits for crunch. I also loved a salad recipe I found on TheWorldAccordingToEggface.blogspot.com - it was chopped cucumber, chopped Tomato, baby mozzarella balls, the really good jarred tuna, fresh basil, and a splash of a fruity vinegar for dressing. SO good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedhead 158 Posted January 16, 2012 A meal I make for my family is tuna stuffed shells- but this wouldn't be great if you only have to cook for yourself unless you freeze them into single serve portions. Tuna Jumbo shells Garlic salt Cottage cheese Lite Alfredo sauce Preheat oven to 350 Mix together tuna, garlic, and cottage cheese.< /p> Stuff tuna mixture into shells that have been cooked according to package directions. Top with Alfredo sauce and any spices you may enjoy (I love basil and parsley) Bake until bubbly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATeam 38 Posted January 17, 2012 I am in Canada, and a brand called Cloverleaf makes them. Maybe its a Canadian thing? They are usually with all the other tuna cans at the grocery store! I hope you find them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andersonlj 32 Posted January 17, 2012 That flavored tuna sounds great but I do not think that we get them here in the US unless it would be a specialty store.....darn wouldn't you know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted January 17, 2012 I actaully saw some today I think was Star Kist in a pouch that was lemon pepper! I got some of the sandwich ready Star Kist albacore in the pouch and is pretty mushy and the whole thing is only 3 1/2 oz. so very convenient to take with you since doesn't' have to be refrigerated til after it's open. tastes great too!

Escape_Pod 358 Posted January 17, 2012 I've seen the seasoned tuna here in the US as well, with the rest of the tuna in the grocery store, but in little cans, not pouches. I love the lemon pepper too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
