Tuna Salad Sandwich w. Guacamole, Salsa, & Chopped Onions


i can only laugh when i look back at what i’ve posted since the semester started and pretty much every recipe is made up by looking at what i happen to have in my refrigerator that day. and today i happened to find some cans of tuna i had forgotten about, a packet of wholly guacamole (that i’ll assume is still good because it smelled fine), a jar of salsa that may or may not be my roommates, half an onion leftover from the skinny joes recipe, and romaine lettuce that is definitely still good. oh and chopped garlic that i put in everything to add some umf 

Mexican Tuna Salad


1 can tuna 
1 1/2 tbsp guacamole or mashed avocado

Made for a delicious and filling vegetarian sandwich

quintessential afternoon of a poor college student: turkey sandwich and and an ikea catalog that holds my future bedroom in it’s beautiful pages (as i have currently only a mattress and some boxes) 

i’m considering aspelund or hemnes 

California Pizza Kitchen: Vegetable Sandwich

Yummy yummy yummy. The bread, though, is a little on the unhealthy side so I’d suggest eating it open-faced or wrapping up half to go since its quite filling

But definitely a new favorite in the menu

Egg White Sandwich w. Sundried Tomatoes and Feta

egg white breakfast sandwich w. sundried tomatoes and feta

Sunday: breakfast at 2:30 pm. I made myself hold off all morning for this sandwich so I could get to the grocery store after mass. Worth it. I made the sandwich for my friends too and they approved. So… Making this again…

i just can’t wait to be back in my kitchen at home.
pretty much every night i end up in my boyfriend’s apartment cooking veggies in a pan with some teriyaki sauce, which surprisingly hasn’t gotten old yet, but i miss being able to whip up something tasty from all the fresh ingredients we have at home.

oh well… one more month. then hopefully i’ll be in an apartment next year.
but seriously, isn’t it so much easier to eat healthy in your own well-stocked kitchen

Turkey Sandwich on sourdough w. pesto, mozzarella, spinach, and red onion

i’m at my boyfriend’s family’s house in Kansas for Easter and it’s been beyond wonderful having a cute kitchen to cook in. Thus far I have cooked a grand total of two things: poached eggs on toast & this sandwich. 

but basically this sandwich was delicious and I’m glad i decided to try to work some lean meats back into my diet 


#1 FAVORITE: Veggie Sandwich - cheap, light, delicious, refreshing … shall I go on?

#2 Turkey Tom - if you MUST eat meat, go for turkey. it’s lean and a good source of protein. opt for mustard instead of mayonnaise

Fig, Caramelized Onion, Pear, and Mozzarella Panini

this was so good! but i think next time i’m going to use goat cheese and apples instead of mozzarella and pears

Mediterranean Vegetable Panini

Mediterranean Vegetable Panini

i must admit, it was a little labor-intensive for just one sandwich, but it would be fantastic for a family dinner or home-cooked lunch with friends

ingredients:

  • oroweat sandwich thins
  • roasted red bell pepper
  • garlic, herb, and roasted tomato cheese spread
  • grilled red onions
  • cucumber
  • romaine lettuce 

since it takes about 25-30 minutes to roast the tomatoes and red peppers, i got those in the oven before doing anything else

then grilled/sauteed some sliced red onions with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 

once the tomatoes were done in the oven, i put them in the food processor with two tablespoons of garlic and herb Boursin cheese

i strongly recommend making this in big batches because 1) it’s delicious and 2) it’s hard to make small batches of things in the food processor because sometimes the blades won’t reach

once the spread was whipped up, i assembled the sandwich and put it on our makeshift panini maker
