I like to keep 3 ounce cups of tuna in my office for lunch and snacks. But how, you may wonder, does that single serving of tuna become a mouth-watering sandwich midday? My secret is to bring from home a small plastic container full of the tuna mix-ins du jour along with a couple pieces of bread. Then when I get hungry, I simply dump my cup of tuna into the small plastic container, stir, and spread the mixture on the bread. Super convenient, versatile, and no sogginess. Today for lunch, the mix-ins were olive oil, salt, pepper, chopped parsley and pieces of sun-dried tomato.
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the healthful food market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Washington, DC and am surrounded by a cast a characters you will get to know as you read my blog, including my fiancé (Lloyd), my cat (Miles), and my three sisters.

I just saw that The Nourishing Gourmet blog is having a brainstorm of lunch ideas, so I submitted my traveling tuna. Check out the rest of the ideas here.
