The Good Old Days of Snail Mail

Do you remember how exciting it was to check the mailbox when you were younger? I can remember racing with my two sisters to see who could get the mail first when we were little.

My kids are the same way. They never expect to get anything (although my mom is great about sending them mail for no particular reason), it’s just the pure joy of pulling the bills and grocery ads out.

Let’s face it, as you get older, getting the mail gets less and less exciting. It’s typically just a reminder that the cable bill is due and you need to schedule a trip to the dentist. Sometimes though, you get little gems in the mail…a random card from a friend, a baby announcement, etc. If you happen to be a food blogger, you get might get a package of StarKist Tuna Creations!

StarKist Tuna Tear and Go Creations

I received 4 flavors of the new Tear & Go shelf stable tuna in the mail a few weeks ago and was so excited to try them. I’m a huge fan of StarKist Tuna – I love the taste and the fact that it’s safe catch. The only trouble with using it for lunch was that it didn’t really travel well.

Dan (the hubby) ate the Jalapeño flavor right away, literally just tore the top open, grabbed a fork and ate it right out of the pouch. He said it was good – spicy (which he loves) and flavorful.

Lemon Pepper Tuna Avocado Toast

I used the lemon pepper flavor to create this tuna avocado toast. It’s a great way to add protein to ordinary avocado toast (18 grams in this lemon pepper tuna) as well as increase my weekly serving of seafood.

The flavors in this Lemon Pepper Tuna Avocado Toast are delicious! So fresh tasting and filling thanks to the lean protein from the tuna and healthy fats from the avocado. Topped with a little micro greens and red pepper flakes and you have yourself a lunch to be proud of.
