Lunch today was a tangy, crunchy tuna sandwich inspired by waldorf salad. The recipe is as follows:
-
3 oz. can of tuna
-
handful of walnuts
-
1/3 chopped apple
-
5-7 chopped dried apricots (or raisins or dried cranberries)
-
1-2 teaspoons mayonnaise
Mix all ingredients and serve on whole wheat bread.
As you can see, I'm down to the heels of the bread, which made this sambo a little bready. But otherwise I loved the combo of ingredients and will definitely be repeating the recipe.
As I was enjoying my sandwich, I came across an article in February's edition of RealSimple magazine that made me real irritated. "Easy Does It" (against the backdrop of potato chips and a cupcake) explains five foods that we should moderate. Alcohol, sodium, caffeine, sugar, and...fish?? It is estimated that 84,000 deaths per year are caused by low omega-3/seafood intake. Pregnant women eat on average less than 2 ounces of fish per week (the goal is 12 ounces)! The last thing Americans need to curb is the amount of fish they eat. Very disappointing - I love the organization tips in this magazine, but heads up that their nutrition info is a mess.
