Tuna Melt

You'll probably want to melt your cheese
a little better than I did.

If you're not a fan of tuna fish, you should probably stop reading now.

I love tuna.  In the past I would have made tuna salad and added a lot of mayo, eggs, and olives. You could probably still do it that way and par it down a bit to make it lighter/healthier.  I chose to do it this way to keep the points as low as possible. I guess you could call this my version of a tuna melt.



What you will need:

• 1 Slice Toasted Whole Grain White Wonder Bread (2 points)
• 1 Single Serve Pouch Kroger Brand Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water (1 point)
• Season with Dean Jacob's Habanero Seasoning (0 points)
• 1 Slice Borden's 2% American Cheese (1 point)
• Approximately 4 Trappey's Sweet & Hot Jalapeno Pepper Slices (0 points) 
• Spicy Hot V8 Juice (1 point)

Directions:

• Toast the bread and lay on the plate.
• Place the tuna in a bowl and season to taste.
• Spread tuna on to toast.
• Place Jalapenos over tuna.
• You can place in the microwave to melt cheese.
• Serve with V8 Juice.

This meal came to a total of 5 points.  It was quick and satisfying.

The Best Caesar Salad Dressing Ever

My husband and I absolutely love Caesar salad. I have tried several different dressing recipes over the years, but I always come back to this one. I have been making it for years. It's simple, using few ingredients, and it's delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbls lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 tbls mayo 

Simply whisk together the above ingredients.

(Yields about 4 servings.)

Toss with romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, fresh is best. You can also add grilled chicken breast for a simple meal.
