Something Fishy?

\"something

Something fishy is going on. Or is it?

Yesterday morning I concocted a new snack. I wanted something different, and had some tempeh that I had to use up. I also have most of a box of hummus. See here for the recipe.

I\’ve got to admit that there wasn\’t fish in it at all. In fact, I didn\’t even think about tuna until I was about to start eating the stuff several hours later. Then I looked at it and thought, Hey, that looks sort of like tuna salad!

I\’d say that this snack isn\’t for every day when you\’re watching the carbs; especially not as a sandwich filling. Bread adds even more carbs! But if I were strictly vegetarian (or vegan), and wanted a substitute for tuna salad, this is definitely a possibility.

Does it really taste like tuna? Not to any hard-core tuna lover, I\’m sure; and I\’m not trying to fool anyone. Does it save money over buying tuna fish? Unfortunately, no.

Even so, I must remember this experiment. I can dig it up if I\’m out of tuna, but want something fishy!

This new snack also perked up the back-to-work-after-vacation blahs. I was off last week; and Saturday was Tour de Cure!
