Tuna salad , chili, and any other recipes???
I was wandering if anyone might have a recipe for the tuna salad and a chili recipe? I went to make tuna salad with light mayonaise and sugar was the 2nd ingrediant. If anyone knows of any other recipes, can you please share some? I am able to eat some meats now and need some help with recipes.
This is how I make my tuna salad:
2 cans albacore tuna
3 T sweet pickle relish
2 hard-boiled eggs
2 T plain fat free yogurt
1 T low fat mayo
2 t spicy brown mustard
celery salt and pepper to taste

2 cans of water packed tuna ( Drained )...Diced up onion ( about 1/3 cup)...diced up celery ( about 1/2 cup)...3 boiled eggs ( chopped )...use either mayo or miracle whip ( your choice )...I usually chop up anywhere from 1 -2 apples in mine ( depending on size)...add a small handful of raisins ( optional)...dash of salt and pepper...You can add a dash of garlic powder if you want, I don't though...I like the crunch so sometimes I add some diced up water chestnuts to mine...I usually sprinkle a dab of splenda in mine cuz I prefer it...Can serve this on a lettuce leaf, cracker, slice of bread, whatever you wish...
I made a really quick and easy chili last night...I bought a can of chili, which was Hormel turkey with beans added...added a can of pinto beans, chopped up and added some onions, and green peppers...tossed in a can of mushrooms...mixed in about 1/2 can of water...Cooked until onions and green peppers were tender...Placed in bowl and added a scoop of low fat sour cream on top...Sprinkle of low fat cheese...It was really good...
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS 
will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
I start by opening a can of sliced water chestnuts. I drain the liquid & place them into a ziplock baggie... I then cover them in pickle juice & seal the bag. I put them in the fridge for about an hour. (The longer you let these marinate, the tastier)
I use 2 cans of light chunk in water. I squeeze the can dry, then flake the tuna in a big bowl. (I go through it, making sure there are no bones or little icky parts)
I dice 6 large Zesty Dill Pickles (I like the Vlasic Brand)
I dice up the water chestnuts
Add the pickles & the water chestnuts into the tuna & mix.
Then I add a splash of pickle juice (It keeps it moist, so you don't have to add too much mayo)
Add light mayo until it binds the mixture. (I usually add 3-4 T)
It is sooo yummy. Before banding, I used to eat it on Oatnut Bread, but now I have it on Ak-Mak... and it's still delicious.
My friend adds raw onions to hers (I don't care for onions) This would also be wonderful in icegurg lettuce wraps.
