Beware of the Kitty Chow

April 11, 2011 by Julie 66 Comments

Break room bystanders beware!

Tuna Salad

Kitty chow Tuna salad for lunch! Hide your noses!

Today’s lunch included a tuna salad wrap that I made my combining the following:

  • 1 can chunk light tuna (packed in water)
  • 1 tbsp. light Miracle Whip
  • 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 medium carrot stick, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped

Lunchtime!

Roasted cauliflower, carrot sticks and a a cup of Greek yogurt with honey served as my sides.

Roasted Cauliflower

Stay tuned for a video post including a tutorial on how I like to roast my veggies like the above cauliflower! True I haven’t made it yet, but I hope to coerce Ryan into being my cameraman after work one day this week.

Past video posts include:

  • Rutabaga fries tutorial
  • Ryan’s awesome shoulder move (Ryan’s video debut!)
  • Goat cheese + honey dip demo
  • How to cut open a pomegranate
  • How to curl your hair with a straightener

If you have any video post requests, please feel free to let me know in the comments section! I’m a one-trick pony with my videos (meaning I always film them in one shot without really thinking or planning), so ya never really know what you’re gonna get. They always turn out totally awkward… but that’s half the fun!

It’s  a treat! 😉

    Hehe I always used to avoid bringing tuna to school because of the smell, but it’s just too good I can’t resist now! I suppose having an office now helps because everyone else doesn’t have to smell it!

    The title of this post made me laugh. When I was in high school my friend and I were at a party, where the snacks were set up on a counter right above the cat food bowl. We decided it would be funny to try to get another friend to eat some cat food, so we put some in a bowl and pretended it was candy….and he actually did. The look on his face when he figured out what we’d done was priceless.

    I’m excited to see the video- I always feel so awkward making them, too!

    I love tuna fish, but I am definitely weary of eating it “in public” (anywhere but my apartment!). That wrap looks delicious, though!

    It’s not an idea for a video, but I’d love to read a post about how you meal plan for the week. Do you think about your meals for yourself and for Ryan in advance? How do you plan a week’s worth of meals in terms of shopping? What does a typical week of grocery shopping look like for you guys? Just an idea!

    Oh, and I don’t know if you have tried it, you might of, but tuna made with hummus instead of mayo is really good too! I mixed mine with the new supremely spicy Sabra hummus..and oh it is delish 😀

    Wait so you guys KNOW it smells like that and STILL make us gag while you eat it? Seriously, i swear I can smell someone eating tuna a mile away. Sometimes it’s so bad that I have to walk out of the room. I love salmon (and mainy other oderific foods) but there’s a reason I don’t eat them in the office! (Gotta practice what I preach….)

    I’m always embarrassed about my lunch’s smells. I always try to eat as fast as possible so no one says anything, hehe.

    On another note, i gave my cat wet food all of like 3 times when she was a kitten and never since then…but whenever I open a can of tuna, she hears the can pop open and thinks she’s getting a treat! Who knew cats had such a good memory.

    As far as the tuna goes, if you’re working hard, you should be able to eat whatever you want for lunch in the break room. 😉

    Julie, I’m a relatively new follower so I’m really glad you put all of your videos in one post! I really enjoyed them, and I love how genuine you are. Also, from one dog mama to another, Sadie is BEAUTIFUL! 🙂
