Chipotle-Spiced Tuna Cups

These were fun to make. For a low carb diet or a high protein snack, these little cuke-bites are yummy. 
I used two cans of white chunk tuna and two large garden cucumbers; one peeled, and one skin on. 

For the tuna, in a bowl mix:
Two cans of drained white chunk tuna
Sprinkle salt, pepper and chipotle spice seasoning (if you don't have, a dash of cayenne will do)
A tbsp of relish
Two tbsps of mayo 
A tbsp of plain yogurt. 

If you find the mix too dry add more mayo. 

Chop your cucumbers in large pieces, then with a tsp, dig out the seeds of each chunk so you have mini cups. I rested mine on paper towel just to absorb any excess water. 

Then fill and set in a deep dish (pie dish works well) and sprinkle some chopped green onions on top!

Squirrelly Trail Mix

I have been keen on making many versions of trail mix. The possibilities are endless and the benefits are numerous. You can stock up on your favourite snacks for an inexpensive price at (dare I say it?)...Walmart, for example. The pre made stuff is way over-priced! 

Enjoy this blend of: 
Unsalted peanuts
Unsalted raw almonds
Salted soy nuts
Handful golden raisins
Sprinkling of chopped dried mango

Creamy Cauliflower Sauce

This is probably the healthiest, tastiest discovery! 
This creamy sauce is so easy to make and would taste great with just about any type of pasta. 
I chose whole wheat spaghetti for this one. 

First, clean and chop your cauliflower into bite-size pieces. Boil in salted water for 35 minutes. 
Strain and allow to cool. 

Second, sauté half an onion and 3 cloves minced garlic in olive oil until soft. 

Third, put onion, garlic, and cauliflower into a food processor and whirl away until nicely pureed. 
Add salt, pepper, a dash of dried parsley and red pepper flakes and thin out the sauce with 1/2 cup water and a tbsp olive oil. Blend some more. *Feel free to add more liquid to get the sauce where you like it. 

Fourth, when ready to serve, heat in a large pan on stove top and stir in a handful of grated Romano cheese. Add your whole wheat pasta, mix and enjoy!
