Need ideas for canned tuna



Recommended Posts

I need some ideas for how to eat canned tuna without cooking it. I'm not crazy about tuna and mayo, so I was curious if anyone has any tricks for dressing up plain canned tuna?

I add a little bit of Oikos greek yogurt dip and a spoonful of Pickle Juice.< /p>

Try this one if you like Italian and don't put it on the bread: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/tuna-gribiche-crostini-50400000120571/

This one looks good too if you like asian: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/asian_tuna_salad/

I also like mine with a little mustard and green onions. Sometimes I shred a hardboiled egg and add it for flavor.

I use plain Greek yogurt (instead of mayo) with a bit of mustard and relish and a dash of garlic powder.< /p>

The only tuna I can eat is the lemon pepper by bumble bee. I sort of despise tuna, but I like that kind. I also hate mayo.< /p>

I do make mine with light mayo but you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt. I mix in chopped onion, sweet bread and butter pickles diced (in Splenda), and crystals brand hot sauce. It's so delicious! Sweet, spicy and tangy.

I despise tuna so I've been doing canned chicken & making chicken salad with extra boiled eggs for added Protien. Celery salt is key. Yum-O

Here's a great recipe for a tuna and white bean salad! Very refreshing and different!

I make two versions:

- With FF sour cream and horseradish

- With FF sour cream and shredded ff cheese and heated in the microwave so the cheese melts a bit.

Oh god, am I ever going to finish with the liquids portion of my new life? :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
