Lately I have been dreaming about food, a lot. No, not day dreaming. Like legit dreams that occur amidst my slumber. I guess this isn’t that surprising considering the fact that I am a food blogger but it is a strange phenomenon nonetheless.
The most vivid one that I can remember involved terrorists trying to steal my cheese, which was more of a nightmare than a dream. I also had one about microwavable enchiladas.
Weird, I don’t eat frozen enchiladas, they did look mighty tasty in my dream though.
I have a vague recollection of eating bite-size cinnamon rolls in my dream last night. Reaching into a bag(?) of them and pulling out little mini, gooey, sticky, delicious gems. Very strange. We do have homemade cinnamon roll dough in the freezer though, so perhaps it’s a sign!
Maybe I should take all of these dreams as a sign and make some cheesy enchiladas with cinnamon rolls on the side. Yup.
For now, here is something slightly less sweet and more in the realm of fantastically easy and very versatile lunch or dinner.
Open Face Tuna Melt 2 Ways
Tuna is great on sandwiches, salads, as a hot cheesy melt or just as a dip for some celery. Here are just a few examples of it’s versatility!
Little Yellow Note: Don’t eat this in the office, you just might be shunned. Despite the smell, its tasty stuff!!
Option 1 – The Basics:
- 2 cans of tuna
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt – healthy substitute for
fat mayo, very tasty!
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup celery celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup cornichon pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 piece of sourdough wheat bread
Option 2 – Mediterranean style:
- 1 can of tuna
- 1/2 non-fat plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons rosemary, minced
- 3 tablespoons capers, chopped
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup green or kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup celery, chopped

Throw either of these combination onto a slice of bread with a little cheese on top. Put it under the broiler for 5 minutes but keep an eye on it. Enjoy with a couple slices of tomato!
Just for fun, and for your viewing pleasure here are some pictures from the little BBQ our fabulous neighbor Pearl and friend Jei invited us over for last night!
