Rick Bayless’s Authentic Mexican Cookbook…

After coming back from a 17-day trip through Mexico, I wanted to be able to taste the same authentic cuisine that I found at the local restaurants. By that I mean anything from taco stands to restaurants where local families ate.

Surprisingly, this cookbook that I mistakenly bought from Amazon.com is doing the trick. Rick Bayless’s Authentic Mexican doesn’t have his picture on it, on Amazon, but in reality, the book ships with his mug.

Recipe: Easy Trader Joe’s Tuna Fish Salad

This is an easy recipe to whip up if you like tuna fish sandwiches, or tuna fish salad. But mainly I like this because I can get all these ingredients at Trader Joe’s and this whips up very quickly.

TJ Tuna Fish Salad
2 cans Tongol tuna, no oil, no salt, drained (or you can get the Albacore but this is supposedly the same and was a few cents cheaper…I can’t taste any difference)
3-6 Tbs TJ’s Organic Mayonnaise, depending on taste
3-6 Tbs TJ Hot Bell Pepper Relish
1 Tbs Annie’s Raspberry Mustard (or Dijon is fine)
1-2 tsp celery seed
1-2 tsp dill weed
salt & ground black pepper to taste
(optional) 2-3 c. cooked pasta (I used penne)
