Good eatin' Saturday!!!

I hope that everyone had a great week and maybe even lost a few pounds :-) or maybe just tried to eat smarter and workout a little more. Ive started running again and let me tell you I can truly see the results. Normally I try to post a recipe for your you all on Fridays but yesterday was a busy day for me. We went to gym, met with our coach, had our re-feed meal, took my Sister back to my Mom, did a little shopping, and tried watching Little Fockers when we got home but after all that we were tired!

So today's recipe is Low Carb Tuna Cakes with a Light Honey Mustard. These are so amazing and you can pair them with any kind of side. You could do fresh sweet potato fries or some delicious succatash. Anything colorful would be great! Try these over the weekend because their easy to make and travel well for lunch at work.

Tuna Cakes
Makes 2 Cakes

1 Can Tuna packed in Water
5 Whole Wheat or Multi Grain Saltine Crackers 
1 Whole Egg
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1/4 Cup Olive Oil

1. Open Tuna with a can opener and drain.
2. Mix together Tuna, Crackers, and Egg in a bowl.
3. In a non-stick pan heat 1/4 cup of Olive Oil on Low/ Med heat. (Do not get the oil to hott)
4. Seperate your Tuna mixture into halves. Make 2 cakes by rolling the mixture in a ball and then pressing it out into a circle. You dont want the cake to thick in the middle because it wont cook evenly.
5. Once your oil is heated place the cakes in the pan. Cook on both sides for about 5-7 mins to golden brown.
6. Once brown then place your cakes on a place, drizzle with a tablespoon of Light Honey Mustard and ENJOY!!!
