Waffle Dress-up & Nicoise Redux


Today was a fun food day for me. Above is my lunch, a not-so-traditional Tuna Nicoise. I added avocado and used a balsamic vinaigrette in place of a Dijon dressing. The tuna is a low-mercury, wild-caught, canned variety. It's really expensive for canned tuna ($3.59), but really healthy. Here's the brand.

Anyway, I mixed it with a little bit of olive oil and Eden Shake. Eden Shake is great for people with sodium issues. But I just like the taste of it. It's made with toasted black and white sesame seeds, nori and red shiso. I inhaled this salad, btw. It was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a long time.


For breakfast, I made what I call Apple Spice Waffles. I simply dressed up my mulit-grain toaster waffles with some baked apples I made recently. They were stuffed with raisins, dried cranberries, pecans, cinnamon and clove. (This breakfast made me think of some of my favorite little people who love waffles. Maybe I'll get to taste test it on them soon.) No waffle is complete without real maple syrup, so a little drizzle and down the hatch. Yum!
