    If you are bored with tuna and mayo...

    Y'all, I found the yummiest thing this morning....

    I was thinking of having tuna w/mayo and a cup of lettuce for breakfast. But I am kind of bored with tuna & mayo.

    So I took about 4-5 tablespoons of butter in a pan, melted it, then added 1 can of tuna. I let it simmer and bubble for about 2 minutes. I poured it in a bowl and took a spoonful....

    guess what? Tastes just like mom's TUNA CASSEROLE from when I was a kid (minus the noodles and peas and potato chip crumbles on top). Yummy-licious! You gotta try it!

    It sounds gross, combining tuna and butter, but it's not - it's really good.

    Also, I find that I have come to LOVE the taste of butter, whereas before Atkins, I didn't like butter and preferred the taste of margarine.

    P.S. - it's good if you take a forkful of the hot tuna and butter, then stab some lettuce - delish!

    Yes, and you can also make tuna patties. They are fantastic. I love tuna. Combine tuna, eggs, chopped celery, chopped onion, chopped green peppers and mashed pork rinds. Make into burgers and cook in butter. Delicious.

          My husband makes the typical tuna/mushroom soup/noodles/cheese variety with the chips on top. I am fanatical about this.

          What if, for atkins sake, I took a batch without the noodles and chips? Just the cheese, mushroom soup, and tuna? Maybe crumbled pork rinds on top?

          Thoughts?

              Hmm - the soup has 9g of carbs per serving...but a serving of the casserole would only have a portion of that. Well, gotta give it a try.
