HA! totally amazing lunch!



been craving tuna melt recently. so i decided to go with it today after class. thought i'd give it a twist , dear to my tummy and add mushrooms.

Recipe:





INGREDIENTS

12 ounces canned chunk light tuna, drained

1 medium shallot, minced (2 tablespoons, and you can use white onions, it doesnt matter)

2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise (Light mayo)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley

1/8 teaspoon salt

Dash of hot sauce (I use Tobasco but u can use w.e you have)

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 slices whole-wheat bread

2 tomatoes, sliced

1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese ( I use parmessan)



Mini portobello mushrooms.



Baking sheet



PREPARATION

Preheat Overn (450*)



Combine tuna, shallots, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, salt, hot sauce, and pepper in a medium bowl until everything is evenly distributed.



Coat the Baking sheet with olive oil (lightly, not a lot..you dont want your mushrooms and bread swimming in oil- i just do like a little swirly on the sheet and then spread it out)



Spread 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture on a slice of bread; top with tomato slices and the cheese.



On the side of the baking sheet put the sliced mini portobello mushrooms on a row (i dunno im just ocd , put them however you want LOL). and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them.



Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and wait until the cheese is bubbling and the bread is golden brown.



Give it like 3 to 5 minutes more or less.



Serve.





ENJOY!

American Tradition

I know this might sound a bit ignorant, especially after I've practically been raised in the US. BUt I've never had an American Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving consist of pretty much Cuban culture adapted to the American Holiday.



So...Educate me...What do you eat cranberry sauce with?? Ive heard people add it to the turkey, or is it for dessert, aside form the pies?



There is a lot of sweet stuff used for the foods, which I think it's great...but Its not something I see everyday!



This thanksgiving I plan on making certain things, add certain dishes to our dinner...and one of them is this really good cinnamon cranberry and apple sauce...but I dont know what to add it to!! LOL



What do YOU eat your Cranberry sauce with?

JIMMY HENDRIX BDAY!

If You missed me making and baking the pie...here is the recipe and try it yourself!!!



SOOOO GOOD!!!



I hope you guys enjoyed me making a fool of myself ;)





Cook Time: 1 hr 30 min

Level: Intermediate

Yield: 8 to 10 servings



Close Times:



Prep : 45 min

Inactive Prep: 1 hr 0 min

Cook: 1 hr 30 min

Total: 3 hr 15 min --> but i made it in like an hr and 20 mins cuz im THAT badass ;)





Ingredients --Pie Crust: (i bought a pre made crust just for time sacing purposes)



* 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

* 5 teaspoons sugar

* Pinch kosher salt

* 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

* 2 egg yolks

* Ice water



For the filling:



* 2 whole sugar pumpkins

* 6 bananas

* 3 large eggs, plus 1 egg white

* 1/2 cup sugar

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

* 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

* 1 cup heavy cream

* Pinch kosher salt



For the meringue topping:



* 4 large egg whites

* 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

* 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

* Pinch salt



Directions



Crust:



Combine the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work in egg yolks and 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water until the dough holds together without being too sticky. If it's still crumbly, add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.



On a floured surface, roll the dough into an 11 to 12-inch circle with a floured rolling pin. Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing firmly into the bottom and sides. Trim the excess dough, then pinch the edges. Refrigerate until ready to fill.



Filling:



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.



Split the pumpkins down the middle and scoop out the seeds. Arrange on a roasting tray, cut side up, and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pumpkins from the oven and lay bananas (in their skins) around and between the pumpkin halves. Return to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before handling, about 5 minutes.



Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and add to a food processor. Peel the bananas and add the flesh to food processor as well. Add the 3 eggs, sugar, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter, nutmeg, heavy cream and salt. Puree until smooth.



Put a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 375 degrees F.



Pour the filing into the prepared pie shell. Lightly beat the egg white. Brush the pastry edges with the egg white and sprinkle with a bit of sugar. Carefully arrange the pie on the preheated baking sheet, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake it until the pie is set but still jiggles slightly, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.



Topping:



Beat the egg whites, powdered sugar, cream of tartar, and a pinch salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until glossy medium peaks form, being careful not to over beat.



Spread the meringue mixture over the top of the pie, covering right to the edges. Using the back of a spoon press lightly into the meringue and pull up on the spoon to form peaks all over the surface of the meringue (alternatively you can use a piping bag with a large star tip if you choose).



To cook the meringue, preheat the broiler with the rack in the highest position. Put the pie under the broiler and broil until the meringue is set and golden brown, about 7 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning, as it cooks quickly. Remove from the broiler and cool before serving.
