Each day I fix my four-year-old daughter one of three possibilities for lunch: a bowl of yogurt topped with granola, a fluffernut sandwich (more on that next week), or an ambitious bowl of macaroni and cheese. I tire of these possibilities; and after fixing her plate I always ask myself, "but what should I eat?". Well, a few days ago I concocted a tuna sandwich that makes me excited about eating lunch. Here's hoping you will take a few minutes to fix a slightly nicer lunch for yourself than you will for your children.
serves 1-2 (depending on how hungry you are, and how late you put off eating lunch)
1 can albacore tuna
1/4 of a red onion-minced
1/2 of a lemon's juice
1 tsp. lemon peel
diced avocado
salt
dash of white pepper
dollop of mayonnaise
Add everything to a bowl and mix well. Eat as a salad alongside crusty bread, or find some sort of cracker to scoop it up, or settle for dressing up the same bread your children eat.

Now I'm just excited about this blog!!! But I'm jealous that the world will now be privy to your great recipes and ideas....I thought I had an exclusive here!
Yhea!! I am so excited that you're blogging, Miss Becca! I love adult tuna fish sandwiches and the way you write about them makes me want to eat one right now. I will have to try this recipe and also post my own adult tuna sandwich recipe at my blog. Glad to know I've found a fellow Cook Book reader. . .I knew you were a kindred spirit!
Yipee!!!! Yipee!!!! Yipee!!! Clearly, I've very excited about this blog Becca.
VERY nice. I love tuna, so thanks for the new way to spice it up.
I'm so glad you started this blog! I can't tell you how many times since you left Berkeley that I've thought "I wish I had Becca's recipe for x ". Keep 'em coming!
Becca, do you have a recipe for smiley toast?
These sandwiches sound soooo good, especially since I have a bunch of fresh tuna from my in-laws and our Meyer lemon harvest is in full swing.
While I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand I did enjoy my modified tuna with a sweet pepper on the side. Mmmmm.
I'm looking forward to a lot more new (and obviously delicious) recipes.
