Slice off the top of one pepper, removing the stem and seeds. Combine one can (5 oz.) of albacore tuna in water, drained, with 1 Tbsp. of Duke's mayo. Put mixture into pepper. Sprinkle top with some parmesan cheese. Put pepper in pan sprayed with Pam and bake at 375 until softened, about 25 minutes.

I love tuna, sounds good. Tonight I am going to try to make the salmon patties, wish me luck as I am not a 'martha' haha
I use to love tuna casserole too, thinking maybe we could make the broccoli with the alfredo cheese sauce and add tuna to it, cover with shreaded cheddar and bake it like I did the chicken the other night sounds, yum to me.
I placed my first order for low carb on line yesterday and ordered the carbquick, somekind of pasta that is lowcarb and some of the low carb muffin mix.

somekind of pasta this has me concerned k faith, can you elaborate on what you ordered?
-
Oh NO! Doug, I went back to see what I had ordered when you said that. I guess I had it in my mind everything from Netrition was healthy, so I saw this angel hair pasta and it said 5g. carbs, I just went back found it and found the label, oh my goodness.... it has 36 net carbs, here I thought it was going to have 5 carbs ( a dream come true) booohooo, no such luck. But nope the 5 g. was digestiable carbs, whatever that means, I have no clue. But yes, it sure fooled me, I will give it away when it comes. ;( Been missing pasta so bad and nothing I have tried seems to replace that desire.
-
My Netrition order came today. You are not going to believe this, both boxes of the angel hair dreamfields pasta were open in the box and spilled out, after I had found out I was not allowed them, I had planned to give them away, but since they were opened I called Netrition and they refunded the money to my account and I threw the pasta away. I had no clue what digestiable carbs meant,still not sure, that was a new one for me, so glad you questioned me on that Doug and I took a closer look, as net carbs were 36.
Looking forward to trying Carbquik bake mix and the carb counters corn muffin mix. Hopefully those are allowed?
-
Hi Rosie! :)
The way to figure net carbs are easy to remember.
Net carbs (the sugar) are what's left after you remove fiber and sugar alcohols.
Net Carbs = Total carbs - Fiber (if any) - Sugar Alcohols (if any)
Since the FDA is not very strict about carb info on Nutrition Facts labels, also remember to check the ingredients.
If any of the first three are high in carbs, don't buy the product.
-
The carbquik is fine.Is the corn muffin mix dixie diner?

KFaith, trust me, you really will lose your desire for wheat based pasta after you start eating spaghetti squash, or julianned zucchini or Shirataki noodles. What will happen is you'll put a piece of regular pasta in your mouth 6 months from now without sauce and it will taste like glue :o
The flavor is in the sauce not the pasta and the alternatives mentioned above are wonderful replacements.

I had forgotten about julienned zucchini. I have been craving pasta too. I think the zucchini works great with a good low carb sauce. Thanks foe the reminder Doug. ;)
-
Don't forget eggplant! ;)

I am making this for lunch today and am excited because I have yellow ,green and red peppers. I bought a stockpile of tuna yesterday at dollar general. It is just regular tuna in water and I am going to mix cheese in with the tuna and mayo. I might even have a few to freeze.
-
Your garden must be beautiful! Big Lots had Tuna too on sale for 80 cents a can I bought 12! :D
-
That is a great deal. It is embarassing being a tuna fiend. The people at checkout will give you a funny look ::)

Hi skychant! :)
Tuna is a food staple!... Don't be embarrassed.
My prayer is that, one day, people will look funny at others that load up on bread, chips, rice, etc..
-
I don't embarrass easily Skychant my mom says I have no shame!! :D :D
-
Blessed with an abundance of peppers again this summer...will be schlepping to big lots to find a bargain on tuna. I might even try this recipe with homemade chicken salad for some variety.
-
I LOVE peppers, too!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
They are so tasty, and make so many recipes better!

Never thought about stuffing with tuna. Have only used mince beef in the past. Actually just had a thought of putting in a meat sauce (like for pasta) and baking. Lots options. Got a bag of peppers can try it out on.
-
That sounds similar to the stuffed peppers I used to make years ago Morgan. Sadly my hubs doesn't like green peppers so to go to the trouble to make them he wouldn't eat any. :'( I usually made what I called porcupine meatballs with chopped beef, onions and rice...with a few spices. Stuff the peppers and pour pasta sauce over the top and bake....contrary to what my hubs would think they are very good :) If I were to make them today I would exchange the rice for riced cauliflower. ;)
-
For the rice I would try the ones made with the konjac root - at least rice shaped.
-
Good idea :D
-
Try roasting some on the grill skychant and putting them in the fridge in a mason jar full of olive oil and garlic cloves split.Adds alot of flavor to foods with small amount of pepper.You can also use the oil for cooking. ;)

Nice tip Umpa!!

That's one of my favourite things to do umps. Was just thinking the other day that I haven't done that in a while. I usually do it for a meatloaf/terraine recipe I have where U layer the marinated peppers and mince beef, top with a mixture of rocket, parmesan & macadamia nuts and wrap in bacon. U serve it cold. It tastes great. I like to make it at Christmas as the weather is so hot. Serve with salads. Maybe it's Christmas in July ;)
-
Morgan what is rocket??Sounds interesting ;) I love raw steak never had raw ground beef though.

Sorry for misleading you umpa, after all the layering you bake it like meatloaf but you serve it cold. Though tastes good hot or warm also. Rocket is a type of lettuce with a slightly bitter taste.

Thats how I like my meatloaf too,cold out of the fridge with ketchup ;)

YUMMY!!!... One of my favorite sandwiches is meatloaf with ketchup! :) :) :)
I traded the bread in for low carb wraps or just lettuce leaves.
