this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

tuna and white bean salad can work
I used to make huge pots of beans, bean soup, chili beans, white northern beans, and whatnot, then the summer came and I really want beans mainly in salads and cold dishes so even though its not as cheap, (it's still pretty darn cheap) I buy canned beans and I can have a variety ready for me at any time. My favorites are black beans, small white beans, cannelini and garbanzo beans.
I get lazy in the summer. I still want to cook but I don't want to work too hard, and also I'm trying to eat lighter, and use more fresh ingredients. So anyway, canned beans - they're my main staple along with cans of tuna. So, tuna and white bean salads have been really doing it for me as a lazy day quick meal. I also love me a greek salad so tonight I just combined the things I like best in both and it was good.
I also have plenty of melba toast crackers and those are great to go along side this salad.
