CreamTunaSpinach-wrapped memories 🎁

Pita wraps and cream bring fond memories, of me in my 2nd-trimester 1stborn baby bump with a HUGE craving for a pita-wrapped goodness of creamy tuna. So fortunate that Ayala Cebu, just across my workplace then, had a stall that sold a very satisfying version of this!

🎶 Yes, "Pita wrap dreams are made of this"... 🎵🎶

A very welcome healthy twist to tuna wraps is the iron-rich spinach leaves add-on, which my current town has plenty supply of. Other alternatives would be kale, and other similar greens.

And here was 1 of my many takes.

Ingredients-

2 garlic shredded

2 generous knobs of butter*

2 cans of spicy tuna in oil

Pinch of salt

Dash of pepper

1/2 tsp chili flakes

1 can cream

1 pack of spinach leaves

1/2 cabbage diced (optional)

1/2 apple diced (optional)

1 tsp lemon juice

pratha or wraps

Steps-

Saute garlic in butter, add salt.

Add tuna, cook for 3 minutes.

Optional to add a bit of the oil from the can. But for healthier version, leave that out.

Spinach goes in, saute for a minute.*

Add the apple bits. Saute ~2 minutes.*

(You can switch up these 2 ⤴️, it's all up to your preferred doneness; the earlier it gets into the pan, the more cooked it gets).

Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Pour the cream. Mix well.

Add the lemon juice.

Taste, and tweak if needed.

And finally, slather thick or thin to your favorite wraps, and take a bite!

Made more memory connections with my kids with this-- many a warm meal of Spice n Cream Tuna Wraps shared while they're growing up. Mmm. Good, good, good.

Someday, I hope they'll remember these times fondly too.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...
