Tempt My Tummy Tuesday - Sicilian Tuna Salad
Well, that certainly was a long blogging break. I have to say, "I have really missed my blogging." The Christmas season is always a busy time for my family. I try to slow down a bit and spend as much time as I possibly can with them. My son and daughter are both teenagers now and will be grown and gone before I know it. I am really struggling with this.
In an attempt to get on a blogging schedule, I am going to be linking up with other blogs that I find interesting and helpful. I hope you will find a few new favorites as well. My first link this month is "Tempt My Tummy Tuesday" over at Blessed with Grace.
I'm re posting my version of Sicilian Tuna Salad to get started. I know a lot of you have tuna stockpiled and are looking for something different to do with it.
Sicilian Tuna Salad
12 oz. tuna (close as you can get with what you have on hand)
1 Roma tomato, diced
2 green onions, sliced or a little chopped onion
12 black olives, sliced
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or 1 cheese stick, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 to 3 tbsps olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Drain the tuna if using canned tuna. Put tuna in a large bowl and flake. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until everything is distributed throughout.
I love this salad on a croissant but Jessica loves it on whole wheat bread. What's your favorite bread for a tuna salad sandwich?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving this morning.
I know everyone is probably really busy with Thanksgiving Day preparations. I had a few free minutes and decided to update my blog with the promised tuna recipes. If you don't like tuna checkout the recipes anyway because they would also taste wonderful with some of that leftover turkey.
I will be looking over the Black Friday ads a little later today. What are your plans for Black Friday?
We will be going to the movies this afternoon to see The Blind Side. The whole family has really been looking forward to this outing. What movies are your families looking forward to?
Asian Tuna Wontons
I have so much tuna in my pantry from all the great sale this month. I have been searching high and low for new tuna recipes that don't include the word casserole in them. Here is one that my family really enjoyed.
Dressing:
1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp chili paste
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp honey
Mixture:
2 cans (6 1/2 oz. each) tuna, drained
3 tbsp crushed peanuts ( we used chopped cashews, free from CVS)
4 cups coleslaw mix
1 package of wonton wrappers to make cups to hold tuna mixture.
Heat oven to 350*.
Mix up the dressing ingredients and set aside. Next, put the tuna mixture ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix. Add the dressing to this mixture and toss.
Brush 24 muffin tins with peanut oil (1 tbsp). Place 24 wonton wrappers in tins and brush any dry spots, especially tips with oil. Put in oven and bake for 6-7 minutes. Take out of tins and cool on wire rack.
To serve, place a pile of mixture on the plate and 6 wontons per person.
We served this with egg rolls and fresh fruit. You could also serve it with corn on the cob, if you don't have or like egg rolls. This was a really lite and refreshing dinner.
I think this mixture would also make a yummy wrap if you don't want to mess with the wontons.

Sicilian Tuna Salad
My daughter and I had the most wonderful tuna salad panini at a little bakery last week. We wrote down a list of the ingredients from the menu on the back of a receipt so that we could make it at home. If you don't like mayo in your tuna then give this recipe a try. It is fresh and delicious.
12 oz. of tuna (close as you can get with what you have on hand)
1 Roma tomato, diced
2 green onions, sliced or a little bit of onion diced
12 black olives, sliced
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or 1 mozzarella cheese stick, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 to 3 tbsps. of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Drain the tuna if using canned tuna. Put the tuna in a large bowl and flake. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until everything is distributed throughout.
