Mini Tuna Spinach wrap recipe


I love tuna and spinach so I figured I'd create a healthier "wrap" version to share with you all.

Ingredients:
1 can of Tuna (bumble bee solid in water)
Chopped Onion (about 1/4 of an onion)
Mayo (1-2 tbspn I love mayo!)
Diced Tomato (1/2 tomato)
Chopped Celery (1-2 stalks)
Salt & pepper for taste (optional)
Spinach leaves (as many as u'd like)

Quick and easy steps: 

I started by draining the tuna water out next I scooped out the tuna onto a bowl. In the bowl I added mayo, tomato, onion and chopped celery. Once in the bowl slowly mix ingredients together. After mixing all products I added the pepper and a hint of salt.

Now you're ready for the fun part! Grab a small 1/2-1 tablespoon of the tuna mix and scoop onto each individual spinach leaf. My toddler enjoyed helping me prep this lunch. 


She was in control of her own portions and felt like a mini cook ;). You can use salmon or even crab meat if you'd like. Regardless of which route you choose the end result is delicious, simple and healthy! Please share your stories and photos below.

I love tutu's and every year I buy my daughter a tutu. This year I decided I wanted to make one for her. I went to my local craft store (Joann Fabric) and purchased my supplies. My theme this year is "Little Mermaid" so I made sure the colors I chose would match.

What you will need:
Tulle
Crochet headband
Scissors
Needle and thread
chair (I used a stuffed animal)
