These easy homemade Tuna Cakes that I make are one of those recipes that is Trim Healthy Mama inspired, and the whole family enjoys it.
First off, I adapted this recipe by using tuna. I additionally add in all the extra veggies I can find from green peppers to avocado slices, maybe little-shredded carrot – you name it! Plus a little bit of milled flax because, well, I do weird stuff like that now that Trim Healthy Mama has completely changed my life.
These Tuna Cakes are an “S Meal” if you’re looking for a Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipe. In this video, I made the family a large bowl of buttered brown rice as a side item. I simply added broccoli for myself and could have had brown rice as an “S Helper.”
This recipe is enough to feed our large family twice. I usually cook enough for dinner one night so we can have the leftovers for lunch the following day. That’s just a little feeding-a-herd trick that makes food prep a little simpler for me. 🙂
