Best Tuna Melt Sandwich

Tuna melts with a zing of Dijon and the crunch of celery and red onion!

I've made plenty of tuna melts over the years and I am not sure if I've ever made any with red onion. I think it's a fantastic addition to tuna salad and goes along really well with the Dijon instead of yellow mustard in the recipe. I'd love to try this particular recipe with bagels - years ago, I tried a recipe for chicken salad on a bagel and fell in love. It's my favorite vessel for chicken salad.

Lemon Pepper Tuna Lettuce Wraps

A quick meal to throw together with just 5 ingredients!

I made these lettuce wraps forever ago when Nick was in Georgia for army training right before the lockdowns started in the U.S. in 2020. The kids are pretty good about eating salad, light meals. I adored these because you don't have to cook anything. If it weren't for tuna breath, these would be awesome for a work lunch. I got a garlic aioli from Kraft that was delicious.

Jalapeno Popper Tuna Melts

Tuna melts with a kick of roasted jalapeno plus extra cheese and a bit of bacon too.

I have never had a more delicious tuna melt in my life. I love roasted jalapenos and they are super easy to do and are a genius addition to tuna salad. I loved the tuna salad part of this recipe too. I think I'm going to be adding a little lemon juice to every tuna salad I make for the rest of my life. That zing of lemon is perfect. We also got to try muenster cheese for the first time and we all liked it. It's always fun to try something new and everyone likes it :)

Upgraded Instant Ramen

There are so many ways to upgrade instant ramen and this is our favorite way!

Since the initial lockdown back in March, we've kept ramen on hand as much as humanly possible. I have 2 big kids that make their own lunch and since we're all home, leftovers get eaten quickly. Ramen is super nice to have on hand because it's so cheap and super quick. We've taken to adding tuna and hardboiled eggs and either spinach or kale if we have it too. My personal favorite tuna is the lemon pepper tuna, but spicy and sweet tuna is good too.
