Tuna Sandwich Thyme

We love fish in our house, and being Catholic, I'm always searching for good recipes that fall under the category "Soups, Meatless, Vegetarian, or Fish" for Fish Fridays!!;-)

Here is a recipe for one of our favorites, tuna salad sandwich. 

-hot dog bun, cut in half

-3/4 can tuna fish, drained (1 can can easily make 2 sandwiches*)

-2 celery sticks

-mayonnaise

-thyme or italian seasoning

-dried or fresh minced onion (optional)

-3 diced bread and butter pickles (optional)

-salt (if needed) and pepper (optional)

Combine tuna, diced celery, enough mayonnaise to cover ingredients, onion, and diced pickles in a small bowl.  Stir together until well-combined. Top with your thyme and italian seasoning.

Spoon/spread onto hot dog bun, and enjoy!

For the "High Stakes Tuna Sandwich,"

turn it into a tuna melt. Add grated cheese and still under a broiler set to High for 3 min.

*I like to add more celery if I'm making 2 sandwiches

If you're serving yourself, but want leftovers, make enough for 2

Tacy's Cobb Salad

Ok, if your lettuce isn't pre-washed, sort it by hand and rinse. If you have a salad spinner, that is what I recommend using for drying your lettuce. If you don't, a clean paper towel will work.

Tear apart or cut up your lettuce until it is the size you like. Dice up a little bit of cheese. I usually use goat cheese, but if you prefer, Colby or Colby Jack are nice subs. 

Meanwhile, boil an egg. I like mine just set, but not runny, so you want to boil it on Medium heat for 11 minutes, then let it cool for 5 minutes. After it is done cooling, run some cold water over it and peel it under water.

Add some crispy bacon, diced green pepper, and some cloth napkins and you are done!
