First Greens. . .and a Little Tuna

Enjoying my first salad of the season this week.  You just cannot beat fresh greens.  Last night the boys had cheese steaks, and the hubbs and I had tuna over our fresh greens and sprouts.  Yes, I am still sprouting, working on my third crop of alfalfa sprouts. 
I wanted to share my tuna recipe with you.  I never liked tuna when I was younger,  it was not until I started fixing it this way that I really liked it. 
Here we go: 
1 can solid white tuna in water
1 tbsp mayo
1 1/2 tbsp mustard
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of dill
Dash of vinegar

Drain your tuna and mix with your other ingredients.
Chill and serve over a bed of greens and you will not need extra dressing.  Spread on toast or a tortilla with some greens and sprouts.   You can also enjoy with some crackers and cheese.  

If that does not fit your tastes this is another recipe for tuna I have used.  My kids even eat this but, shhhh they do not know it is tuna.

1 or 2 cans of solid white tuna in water (depending on how many you have to feed)

Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce (or whatever BBQ sauce you prefer)

Drain your tuna and put in a skillet on medium heat.  Add your BBQ sauce and stir to combine.  Let this heat up and you can eat by itself or on a bun like a BBQ sandwich.   You do not even realize it is tuna.

BBQ Beer Chicken

Ok, so I have been using my crock pot more and we are trying to stay away from red meat so here comes the chicken.  I found this recipe on pinterest and of course I tweaked it just a bit.  I used 4 frozen chicken breast, a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce (because that is what I had on hand) and two bottles of dark beer.  Now, the recipe on pinterest called for two bottles of BBQ sauce and one bottle of beer.  I covered my chicken with the BBQ sauce and sprinkled some paprika and garlic powder over my concoction, then I poured the two bottles of beer.  It needed more liquid that is why I did the two bottles of beer.  I don't drink beer so I took a recommendation from my local grocery store beer guy on the bottles I used.
This cooked 8 hours on low, then you shred the chicken and add it back to your pot for another 30 minutes or so on low.  I fixed some whole wheat Orzo and we put our shredded chicken over top of the Orzo.  I must say this was so very good.  Everybody liked it except Big T, he is my picky eater and he hates anything drenched in sauce.   He is a lot like I was at his age so I try not to fuss at him to much about it.  I do feel a constant need to apologize to my mother though, for what I put her through when I was growing up.  When we had spaghetti I only ate noodles and no sauce.
Of course I grew out of that picky stage and I eat a broader selection of food now.   I still don't like a lot of red meat but we do have it occasionally.   I prefer chicken or pork personally.
This was a great meal and we had no leftovers.  I always have leftovers.
I really like using my crock pot so stay tuned I have a few more recipes I am going to try.
