The star ingredients of this evening’s sandwich was a green chile pepper. It definitely added a little “heat” to the sandwich.

I liked this recipe a lot. It definitely adds a new and interesting twist to a regular ol’ tuna salad sandwich. Mal toasted and melted cheddar cheese on his sandwich, which I highly recommend! He shared a bite with me and it tasted awesome!

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are on the agenda for dessert! :-D

This recipe is good timing. I’m starting to eat some fish again, and collecting interesting recipes is very important at this point. This one sounds tasty.

Looks great. I love the added heat—the more the better. And cheese makes any sandwich better.
