Tuna Burgers

- Meaghan Penrod

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of tuna (packed in water)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cream of rice or gluten free bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • Ghee or coconut oil for pan

Recipe:

  1. Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat with ghee or oil.
  2. In a bowl, combine tuna, egg, cream of rice or bread crumbs, salt, and Old Bay. Mix with your hands or a spoon until combined.
  3. Split mixture in half and form each half into a ball. Press the ball until it’s a flat (about 1/2 inch thick) patty.
  4. Place patties in skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until each side has a nice, golden crust.
  5. Optional: After the first side cooks for 2-3 minutes, I flip the burger and add mozzarella cheese on top so it melts while the bottom cooks!
  6. Serve with toppings of your choice! I love mayo or guacamole 🥑

Crazy Easy Mac and Cheese

- Meaghan Penrod

So the other day at the grocery store, they had pork shoulders buy one get one free.  Great deal! So on Monday morning, I put my pork in the slow cooker with plans to have pulled pork for dinner.  Usually while I’m at work, I’ll brainstorm some ideas for what else I’m going to have with whatever meat I thawed out…but on this day I was stumped.  We had just had mashed potatoes for dinner the night before and I didn’t want to do potatoes two days in a row….and rice didn’t seem like a good choice.  Then suddenly it hit me, MAC AND CHEESE.  We had pulled pork and mac and cheese at our wedding, so clearly it’s a household favorite haha

Normally I like to make mac and cheese and then bake it to get it crispy, but I wasn’t going to get home until kinda late and I wanted something that would come together fast! I kinda just threw this mac and cheese together (in 15 minutes, no lie) and it turned out SO GOOD.  So I’ll let you guys in on the recipe…really nothing fancy.  Just simple, easy, and DELICIOUS.  I used earth balance vegan butter and almond milk to cut down on the dairy, but you could totally use any kind of butter or milk that you’d like!
