Mock Tuna Salad Sandwich and Hearty Slaw Salad

January 11, 2010 by Noelle 16 Comments

From An Opera Singer in the Kitchen

I have really REALLY missed blogging. My husband and I have been out of town only an hour and a half from where we live but we get so busy that we do not really get a lot of computer time! I did, though, enjoy some nice time in the cold weather. I am getting used to understanding how the snow difference is beside a lake as opposed to a city further away from the lake.

We stayed at a friend’s house that is by the lake and I could not help but just stare at the cold icy and somewhat frozen lake that empties into Lake Michigan. I took a mile long walk in the 13 degree weather, all bundled up. Did I mention I LOVE walking in the cold? It is a complete different workout. Not only does it work my legs but my waist, hips and arms! Even though I have been stretching every morning, I still manage to wake up sore. I love it though because I know I have worked hard. What do I do on my walks? I feel tempted using the IPod but I don’t. My walks have been SO peaceful and calm. I thank God for his beautiful creation and for the beauty of winter. I know I have been told I have been crazy for enjoying this cold weather, but I guess since I have not seen snow while living in Texas, I am eating it all up.

Question for you northerners: Can I get pneumonia from walking out in chilly weather despite being bundled up?

Enjoy some of the pictures I took.

I made a delicious healthy sandwich and a very big salad that was so filling. I have been craving legumes, so the mock tuna salad was something I created on my own because I used to eat a tuna salad before becoming vegan. My new creation was a very delicious substitute that I would make again!

The salad was something that came out of a whim that proved to be fantastic. Enjoy the colors.
