Tuna Melt

This is what Brother and I had for lunch today, and I have to say it was an awesome rainy gloomy day lunch! Of course I found this on Pinterest! :-)

It is super easy to make, here is what you will need;

1 can tuna(in water), drained
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 tsp mayo
1 tsp red wine vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 slices cheese(I used Colby Jack)
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
2 slices tomato
Oil Spray

Directions:

Combine tuna, celery, carrots, onion, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over low heat. Spray skillet with oil, and place two slices of bread in the pan.
Top bread with cheese, then tuna salad and tomato. Cook on low heat until cheese melts and bread gets toasty.

Yum, Yum, Yum  will definitely be making this again!

Chili {Wendy's Style}

I love this time of year! The weather in East Tennessee has been perfect the last few days!
Last week when I was making my menu I specifically left Sunday blank because I wanted to see what the weather was really going to do...Warm=Grill...Cool=Chili! Yay for cool weather because I got to try out this recipe I had been wanting to try for a while! I love Wendy's chili and this recipe(I think) is just a smidge better!!  :-)

Ingredients:
4 pounds ground beef, browned and drained

2 large yellow (sweet) onions, chopped

5 large green bell peppers, chopped

4 celery stalks, chopped

2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic (I use jarred)

2 cans Ranch Style Beans, NOT drained (15 ounce cans)

2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounce cans)

2 cans Original Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chili (10 ounce cans)

2 cans stewed tomatoes (15 ounce cans)

4 cans plain tomato sauce (15 ounce cans)

2 packages McCormick Mild Chili Seasoning (1.25 ounce packages)


Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot(it filled my 10quart pot)

Simmer for at least three hours (I let mine cook all day long).

I found this recipe on Pinterest and I believe it originated from this website Aprils Little Family

Mexican Pizzas

MEXICAN PIZZAS

3-4 Large tortillas - I used wheat because that's what I had but the other would be fine)
1 cup lean ground turkey,cooked
1/2 cup salsa
2tsp Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup refried beans
1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice(cheddar,mexican,etc..)
Toppings: Lettuce,Onion,Tomato,Sour Cream, Olives,

Preheat oven to 425, Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray.

Lay the tortillas out flat and use a cup,cookie cutter,etc.. to cut 12 circles.

Press each circle in the muffin tins using your fingers,it's ok if the circle doesn't fill the whole cup.

In a small bowl mix the meat,salsa,beans, and taco seasoning.

Put 1/8 of a cup of mixture in each tortilla circle.

Top with Cheese

Bake for 12-18 minutes.

Serve with toppings of your choice.
