Tuna Muffins
I am trying to branch out a little more and try even more GI diet recipes. I basically choose a recipe by its name and tuna muffins never sounded very exciting. Once I actually took the time to read through the entire recipe I learned that these "muffins" were really more like mini meatloaves, made out of tuna of course. The reason why I like this recipe so much is that it is basically made with staples that I have in the kitchen at all times. Tuna, celery, onions, spices, bread and oat bran. It would even be nice to add in some shredded carrots. So this is a good "go to" recipe if you find yourself stuck one night.
SERVED WITH: My favorite mushroom and arugula salad
COOKING TIPS: Let the muffins cool down for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. The tuna muffins don't really stick together as you think they would. I found the best way to get the paper liners off was to place it on the plate, peel down the edges and slide it off the paper onto the plate.
If you are looking for some great muffin cups check out this brand. If you care baking cups. They are the only ones I have purchased so far that didn't stick to whatever it was I was baking or cooking. And the are environmentally friendly!
RATING: A solid 7.

Just had to comment to say that Erin brought in some of these "muffins" today for lunch at work. I had to ask her to not call them muffins though as it totally turned me off before I even had them. But they are delicious- they tasted like stuffing from a roast dinner- yum ;)
