No Time

Time is now the biggest issue. I do not have normal or consistent hours on my job, and often, I don't know even 24 hours in advance when I'm going to have to work. So for this week, as of yesterday, I did not know I would be working a 12-hour day today! I'm revamping my plans even as I work.

As a result, I will be modifying my menu. One idea I had was to make vegetarian stroganoff instead of beef--I don't have time to go to the grocery store today. They are nearly identical in flavor and my version is much healthier to eat. It's a no-brainer. :)

I made tuna salad for mom as I made it for myself at lunch today.

Recipe
Simple Tuna Salad
1 can tuna in water
White balsamic vinegar
Mayo
chopped onion
chopped hard boiled egg, 2 per can of tuna
S&P to taste

Mom doesn't like pepper so I hold the pepper for her. Sometimes, I also splash a little fresh lemon or lime at the end of mixing to taste. It's a delicious extra layer of flavor!

Hard boiled eggs tip from Martha:
If you are chopping hard boiled eggs for a recipe, instead of peeling them (which is sometimes impossible!), cool them and CUT THEM IN HALF WITH A KNIFE! Then you can scoop out the egg and chop it up.

No more worries about difficult to peel eggs! Magic!
