TEXAS TUNA

One of my dearest friends, Becca, lives in Dallas, Texas, and she is quite the good cook I might add. Click here to read JSS' post about Becca's delicious Tortilla Soup recipe. I jet setted to Dallas in May to visit Becca and was reminded how good her Tuna Salad recipe is too. Yesterday I spoke to her on the phone and she was actually making it, so I asked her again what was in it, ran right to the grocery store and made it last night...it was sweet, crunchy and tasted AMAZING!!! It's also quick, easy, light, and perfect to enjoy as a summer dish, so I figured I'd share her recipe with all of you so that you can enjoy some Texas Tuna as well!

Texas Tuna Recipe:

- 2 cans of tuna in water

- 2 tablespoons of Brown Spicy Mustard

- 2 tablespoons of Miracle Whip

- 2 tablespoons of Dill Relish (Sweet Relish can be substituted if you can't find Dill)

- 1/2 cup of raisins

- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans

- 1/2 cup of a red apple diced with the skin on

- 1 celery stalk diced

- 1 hard boiled egg (just the skin- throw away the yolk)

- Salt and Pepper to taste

How to Make: Mix together first four ingredients, then add the crunchy ingredients and the egg afterwards. Serve either on toasted bread, in a pita or tortilla wrap, or with Blue Corn Tortilla Chips...Enjoy!

POP-TARTS STORE POPS UP

A Pop-Tarts Store has popped up in Times Square in New York City! As of today, Pop-Tarts Lovers will be able to feast on Pop-Tarts sushi, S'mores and cookies at the first-ever Pop-Tarts World store and café. So what's on the menu? Well for starters, there's Pop-Tarts Sushi, made from three kinds of Pop-Tarts that are minced together and then wrapped in fruit roll-ups, and Ants on a Log, which crumbles Frosted Grape Pop-Tarts on peanut butter and celery sticks.There's also plain pop tarts of every flavor which are available frozen, at room temperature or toasted. By the way in case you are wondering, they sell milk at the store so you can wash them down! :)You can find the Pop-Tarts store on West 42nd Street between Sixth Avenue and Broadway. So jet set over and enjoy something that most of us loved as kids! I know I will be checking it out.
