Tuna revolution

Dec 31, 2010 14:51

Hello, everyone--

It's only every once in a while that I find or conceive of a truly good budget recipe. It's very disheartening to see "economical" recipes with ingredients (say, meat) that already cost good money or are just variations on rice and beans. But just yesterday such a recipe occurred to me ( Read more... )

THANK YOU. I was on WIC fora year as a breastfeeding mom and they give you 30oz of tuna per month. I have a huge stockpile of tuna, and mostly make casserole and salad. I welcome all these reccomendations with open arms :-)

They only allowed you to buy the lower-mercury kind of tuna (chunk light? as opposed to solid white or albacore), and could also buy canned sardines and canned salmon. I mostly opted for the tuna because I didn't know what to do with the other two.

I joined just now mainly so I could comment with a recipe :) My mum used to make these for my sister and I, and they're SO versatile - you can swap out pretty much anything if you don't have it. I wrote this up on my "food for one" style recipe blog, so just triple/quadruple the ingredients...

That turn over sounds delightful! Thank you for the suggestions!

Thanks for the corn salad recipe. Trying to eat a little healthier and this sounds perfect. I haven't eaten tuna since I was a kid but these recipes sound so yummy, I might have to give tuna a second chance.

I really dislike tuna...however, my grandma "gifted" me two cans of canned chicken. Any idea if these recipes would convert well over to using chicken instead?

I'm not personally a corn salad sort of fan, but that tuna turnover sounds amazing. The best part is I actually have these ingredients to make!

I'll certainly be making up a couple of these during tomorrow and I thank you greatly for the recipe. It's not something I've tried before; I'm really looking forward to it. :)
