Hot Tuna and Cheddar Sammies/Sandwiches

"Simple, yummy comfort food that's easy on the pocketbook! Just right for a quick anytime lunch. Make it healthier by using low fat cheese and mayo. Choose the amount of mayo you want. I tend to like my tuna mixture creamy, so I add the full 1/2 cup."

  1. My DH loves tuna salad! I make it just like this recipe & add diced hard-boiled egg + a bit of sweet pickle relish. Except for using pita bread vs hamb buns, I made this exactly as written & then tried an experiment w/him. I held out 1 of the stuffed pockets & baked the rest. Then I gave him the cold 1 & he devoured it w/greed. Next I gave him 2 of the baked ones & he said *This is so much better* ! His reaction goes to the heart of your recipe & I agreed w/him. It is better if baked to melt the cheddar & allow that flavor to intensify. Made for the *Pet Parade* event & thx for sharing your recipe w/us. ~ *Edited to Add Re the Mayo Amt* ~ 1/4 cup was too little & the tuna mix dry, but I felt 1/2 cup would be too much. So I used 1/3 cup & it was perfect for us. :-)

I am... ~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on! ~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for! ~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth. ~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!) ~finally, I'm "mom" to the best Bichon in the world. He is Quincy, our kid in a dogsuit. He's 13 years old, but still a puppy to us. <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/264017/Quincy%20run%20small.jpg> Below are photos I've taken of some of my favorite recipes found on Recipezaar: <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w265.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/5b275464.pbw" height="300" width="400"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/?action=view¤t=5b275464.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a> <style>body{background:url("http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/duchick/lakehouse_cupcake.jpg?v=0");background-repeat:repeat;}</style>
