I was on a mission for a protein filled lunch today. As I drove away from class I considered stopping at Subway for a tuny sandwich (that’s not misspelled, that’s how I like it), but I decided to make use of one of my cans of salmon instead.
I piled what I could in between the toasted bread and scooped the rest on a salad. Looks a little heavy on the onions – I better go rinse.
A pear and a pair of 2 kinds of chips on the side
With all the different flavors (salty, savory, sweet) and textures this meal was super satisfying. I made sure to enjoy it at the table and not turn on the TV or computer until I was done.
I always share a little salmon (or tuna) with Vegas. I’m sure it’s the only reason he sticks around here.
Despite the amazing lunch, I still wanted something sweet after my meal and broke off half a Luna bar to enjoy.
I have a test and long To Do list to conquer. See you tonight.

Such a simple but delicious sounding lunch! I need to learn how to do that whole pay attention to what I eat/don’t just scarf it down in front of the TV thing. Someday I’ll get it down.

Looks soooo yummy!! Random question – what kind of Luna bar is that??
runeatrepeat says
Peppermint stick. It’s like a candy bar!
Lauren says
Is the tuna salad from Subway good? I’m always so tempted to get it.
erin @ enjoying the chaos says

That looks amazing. I need to eat places other than zoned out in front of the TV. I am following your lead:)

I was at Costco the other day and noticed that they have more than just the pink salmon in a can now! I think the other is keta salmon. Both have low fat content and are less desirable than the other Pacific salmon types, but at least they are wild and not farmed. Farmed salmon is the worst for you!
I love it when there are different textures balanced with savory and sweet flavors!

I’m sure Vegas loves you. He just can’t show you because of the cat’s code of conduct.
I never ever get tired of tuna sandwiches. YUM!
Karyn says
good luck on that test! and to-do list! i think i have a can of tuna sitting in my bag for my dinner tonight at work. yum 🙂

Vegas is so beautiful. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on your blog is when you posted that photo saying all he ever wanted was to poop outside!!
And salmon salad actually sounds BETTER than tuna salad!!

That salmon salad looks delicious; we don’t live close enough to TJ’s to get cheap canned salmon so I never get to make it.
I just “discovered” putting onions in tuna salad though, and it kind of rocked my world.

I get the canned salmon from Costco 🙂
