Tastes good cold

Entered my giveaway yet? It ends in one day!!!

Erik has to be on the road all day for work tomorrow, so requested  something that “tastes good cold” for his lunch tomorrow, adding “and that’s not chicken”.  Haha.

I always make extra food for dinner to pack in our lunches the next day.  So as I was thinking of what we could have for dinner that would be good cold the next day, tuna came to mind.

I’m not much of a casserole person, buuut in light of his request and in light of quickness, I decided to have a whack at a sort of tuna casserole using what I had on hand. Here’s what I came up with:

Tuna Rice Bake

It’s basically a combination of all this:

• 4 6 ounce cans tuna
• 3 1/2 – 4 cups brown rice (already cooked)
• 4 eggs (cooked)
• 1 bag of assorted frozen veggies (thawed or still frozen)
• 3 light original laughing cow cheese wedges
• 2% shredded cheddar cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• balsamic vinegar
• a little lemon juice
• couple squirts of ketchup
• pepper
• red pepper flakes
• sea salt
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• dash of almond milk
• sliced or slivered almonds

I mixed all of these ingredients together using a little shredded cheddar cheese, a little Parmesan cheese, and the sliced almonds as a topping. Throw it in the oven at around 400 until the almonds have browed a little (around 30ish minutes, depending) and voila!

Easy-peasy (sp? ha), tastes good right out of the oven and tastes good cold the next day ; )

It’s almost Friday …. bring on the weekend!! (I’m getting my hair done on Saturday, woo hoo!)
