You’ll know the living is easy when you Cold Tuna Salad with Green Beans. I know Cold Tuna. Green Beans. That might not sound too inspired, but wait! There’s more. There are gorgeous little cherry tomatoes and of all things, white beans. And that’s all set off by this fabulous Herby Lemon Vinaigrette. The combination is so amazing. The tuna is set off by the fresh, perfectly cooked green beans, the creamy white beans, and the bright tomatoes. This is everyday ingredients transformed.

This simple bread crumb, herb, and olive oil topping works well with almost all fish and takes seconds to make…the idea was “stolen” from Tyler Florence, who used it on a belly of Wild Atlantic Salmon. Sorry, salmon, you’ve just turned into budget-friendly Herbed Breadcrumb Crusted Tilapia. (The recipe is for 4 fillets, the photos only show two.)

Jambalaya Recipe

Jambalaya truly reflects a cultural heritage carried into the New World, nurtured and melded into its own special blend – hundreds of years ago, displaced French Canadians settled into the Louisiana area and adapted this dish to their new surroundings. A lovely melange of vegetables, earthy sausage and chicken are in this Cajun Jambalaya Recipe and it has just the right amount of spice to be interesting. Then Y’all can pass the hot sauce at the table! Happy dance!

Jambalaya - perfectly cooked rice, make either roux or tomato based jambalaya

Do get a good color on sausage and chicken – the chicken should not be cooked through at this point

Shrimp Po’ Boys

Tyler Florence…my hero! I used his basic recipe for Po’ Boys – with a few deletions and additions, and it is amazing! His Creole sauce is so good, my son went nuts over it. While these may look like a basic Po’ Boy, I promise you, they are anything but. I’ve had them in many different areas of the country, and these beat out every restaurant version.
