I LOVE tuna salad sandwiches! I try not to make them too often because of the whole mercury thing, but I feel like a little kid whenever I eat one. This is the recipe I made up when I was about 6. If a six year old can make it, you KNOW it’s easy tuna salad! This is another great way to use those hard boiled eggs.
An easy egg salad recipe means just a few ingredients and not too much chopping. To me, the key to this egg salad recipe is the grated onion, which imparts a quick onion flavor with out having to chop it finely enough to not get big chunks of onion in every bite.
I’ve had a lot of women ask me “how can I get my husband to eat Asian food?” or say “my son won’t eat Asian food!”. Well here is the recipe you’ve been looking for. First of all, don’t tell them it’s Banh Mi, or Asian, just call it a Steak Sandwich…say it with me now…STEAK SANDWICH. What man or teenage boy wouldn’t flip head over heals for those two words?
Go try it, just say “Honey, would you like a steak sandwich for dinner?” Love that reaction!
This tasty sandwich only takes a few minutes of prep and is so filling. The recipe is from my friend Jaden’s brand new cookbook. More about her, the cookbook, and her book tour in my next post…including a GIVEAWAY.
Last week I decided to make a Persian inspired dish in honor of the people of Iran fighting and dying for freedom. I say Persian inspired because I used Panko instead of regular bread crumbs, not traditional in Iranian cooking but I love them so much! I’ve had several meals cooked for me by my friend’s Iranian mother before, but I still did some research before planning my meal. Oh man was it worth it! First we had Salad-e shirazi, a salad of tomato, cucumber and red onion with lime juice and mint. I remember being told this is a favorite summertime dish and I can see why. I didn’t go as traditional as making my own flat bread either, instead getting some pita at the store. I made my favorite hummus recipe, and then came the kebabs. Talk about flavorful! These are Kabab Kubideh, which can be made with beef or lamb, I used beef since we’re trying out some ground beef from a local farm and I really wanted to use it in a recipe where the beef flavor shines through. The secret to these kebabs… Read more
My favorite fast food is sandwiches, real, fresh sandwiches. I realized that the reason I love these sandwiches so much is the fresh ingredients, and that I can so easily make my own at home if I just keep some on hand! I used to not make sandwiches very often because I only had lunchmeat and cheese and bread, not exciting. But now I always have fresh veggies around, so I am eating a lot more sandwiches and loving it. I keep them healthy (mustard not mayo, very thinly sliced cheese, lots of veggies) and I did the math yesterday and realized I also keep them cheap. We buy our lunch meat and Tillamook cheddar in bulk at Sam’s Club. Each sandwich I make uses only $0.20 total of meat and cheese. I get my avocados when they’re on sale, so the half of a large avocado I used cost only 55 cents. Factor in the cost of the other ingredients and the total comes out to only 98 cents! Beat that Subway!
