GNOCCI TUNA SALAD...


This is about the quickest, easiest 6 ingredient meal EVER! Plus, its super yummy & filling.

Here's what you need:
Gnocchi
Can of tuna in olive oil
Spinach
Tomato
Cheese
Croutons

Here's how:
While gnocchi is boiling (about 3 min.), tear some fresh spinach, get out a can of solid chunk tuna in olive oil, cut a tomato, grab 2 little cheese triangles.

After gnocchi is cooked put in a large bowl, throw in the spinach (it will cook from the steam), tuna, tomatoes, gently stir together then mix in your cheese.
At the end throw in your croutons and this is what makes it a salad :) 

I made my croutons from scratch & after making these yummy things, I'm never going back, finally no more throwing all that bread away! 

Oh, if there is any left over, this taste yummy cold the next day, but if your going to eat it this way just skip throwing them into the big bowl the night before & save for individual taste.



I'm having fun here, come join the party!

My Ramen noodles grew up...


Roman noodles always remind me of the first days of being out on my own; grown up but broke and spending money on food was the last thing I wanted to do!

Well, years after those days I still have those noodles hanging around in my pantry - just in case all the other food in my house won't do.  But...thanks to my Mom she has given me a grown up recipe and I have to tell you everyone loves it!  It reminds me of warm weather and cool breezes and it makes me happy because my daughter, Nyla loves it and gobbles it up every time!


Adjust this recipe to your taste (chop cabbage to size you want and dressing according to your sweetness or tanginess that you like).

Here's the quick easy recipe:
Cabbage - chopped
3-4 packages of ramen noodles (broken)
2 bunches of green onions - chopped
Slivered almonds (enough to cover glass dish)
Sesame seeds


Dressing: (adjust to taste)
1 cup of oil (I used less)
6 tablespoons of Rice vinegar 
1/4 cup of sugar

Bake sesame seeds and almonds for 10-15 minutes, use cooking spray to keep from sticking.

While almonds & sesame seeds are baking chop cabbage & onions Or buy pre-chopped. 

Break up ramen noodles, I like to keep pieces kinda big.

Combine everything, add almonds & sesame seeds after cooled.

Stir dressing real good then add to salad.  

Enjoy!!
