I like mine tuna with a bit of relish , a dash of mustard and sometimes some grated cheese oh and of course mayo... sometimes I add some bell pepper and onion too

my hubby just likes his with mayo and onion...

my mom always added grated carrots when she made tuna... I do that sometimes but not often

oh my gosh these look so yummy.. I want to go buy some blueberries so I can make them..

Blueberry Crumb Bars

I could imagine easily swapping another fruit or berry for the blueberries–I’m especially thinking something tart like sour cherries or cranberries in the fall (I’d use orange instead of lemon with cranberries). But if you have blueberries on hand, do not miss a chance to make these.

These are easiest to cut once chilled, and store even better in the fridge than they do at room temperature–something unusual for cookies!

Yield: I cut these into 36 smallish rectangles

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cold butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces)

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon salt

Zest and juice of one lemon

4 cups fresh blueberries

1/2 cup white sugar

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and lemon zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.

3. In another bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. (This took an extra 10 to 15 minutes in my oven.) Cool completely before cutting into squares.

We are having grilled Talapia, broccoli trees, baked potatoes. My son is having sweet potatoes, carrots, and chicken.

The tuna cups are a great idea Carla!

I normally just add mayo or miracle whip and onions or green onion - however I also like celery and especially chopped pickle (yum yum).

Oh Marilyn...those look SO good. I have some raspberries in my fridge that need to be used ASAP. I'm sure that would be awesome with raspberries instead of blueberries. I wish I didn't have such an intolerance to wheat though! ~sighs~ Oh well. If you make them, let us know how they turn out!

Change of plans- we have some Outback Steakhouse gift cards so we are going to use those up tonight.

Cheeseburger Macaroni and homemade bread. Gotta go shopping, I really wanted a salad to go with this, but didn't have any.

Love that pie recipe! Methinks I'll make it this weekend.

[Marilyn. 340]

the pie was good.. a tad sweet but still good... I wanted to mention that I reduced the flour to 1 3/4 cup flour and increased the oatmeal to 3/4 cup

Sounds like an apple crisp. I make it in a glass casserole dish I have. It's a favourite of mine. I use less flour as well, and more oats. AND I make more crumbs for the top. There is little that's healthy about this, so why not go all out? Warmed up with vanilla ice cream....Mmmmmmmmmmm

We had some chicken chili I took out from the freezer. Was nice to free up another plastic container and make room in my freezer! I don't know what I'm going to make for supper. Maybe my idea from yesterday which was a quiche. Maybe a spinach quiche.

[Marilyn. 340]

well with this recipe there is plenty of crumbs for the top and bottom.. and yeah it is more of an apple crisp...

Okies, rare contribution. My beloved mamma in law (who is actually a lovely woman and dear friend) bought us some "fake chorizo" from Safeway. It's vegan, and I had almost thrown it away thinking it would taste like #######; but oh surprise, it is the yums. So, if y'all like spicy sausages [insert Mexican sarcasm here] but don't like meat, go get some of these babies. Good as grilled sausage; even better when crumbled and added to pizza or pasta sauce.
