Tuna Stuffed Avocado

Image
I'm getting a lot of inspiration from FaceBook lately as all these food pictures and videos are popping up.  This recipe comes from The Stay At Home Chef . I got all excited when I realized I had every ingredient to make this for lunch today.  It only took a about ten minutes to make, so easy and healthy.  I love tuna but I usually load it with mayo and make it into a cheesy grilled tuna melt .   I won't be giving up my tuna melts but these delicious stuffed avocados will be making an appearance often!   This recipe is easily made for one, two or more.  Today I just made one avocado so I used one can of tuna and a little of each ingredient.  For a light lunch I could see just eating one of the halves BUT I had no one to share these with today so I ate the whole thing!  YUM! Ingredients: 4 avocados, halved and pitted 4-5 oz. can solid white tuna  (albacore packed in water), drained 1 tablespoon red onion, finely diced 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced 1 jalapeno, minced 1/4 cup

My Aunt Mary reminded me this weekend that I haven't blogged in a long time.  Thanks Aunt Mary, it's nice knowing someone is following my blog!  It's not that I've stopped trying new recipes and I admit I don't cook as much as I used too but I've found something else to keep me busy..... My Granddaughter, Reagan.  For her first year I got to watch her three days a week.  She's now 13 months old and started day care.  On those days that I get to pick her up from day care I need something quick and easy to make for dinner and this Hasselback Chicken is perfect.   I saw the recipe from Tip Hero on my cousin Tami's Facebook page.  She said it was delicious so I had to give it a try.  We liked it as is but next time I will saute some shallot or green onion to give it a little more flavor.  It was a perfect recipe for two but can easily be doubled/tripled.  You can find the recipe and video here .   splash of olive oil 4 heaping cups fresh spinach (about 4
