GUYS! I’m moving out! Although I’m beyond excited to move to the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago, this also means that I will be a blogger on a budget. SO, prepare yourself for budget-friendly, super easy, don’t-require-a-ton-of-dishes recipes. 🙂
Which brings me to one of my favorite quick lunch solutions. When you just don’t have time to meal prep, and you just don’t have energy, and you just happen to have a can of tuna sitting in your pantry, make this 2-Minute Paleo Tuna Salad! It’s so delicious and takes minutes to throw together. Tuna is one of those cheap ingredients I like so much that I buy it at Costco.
And just because I took this picture on my dysfunctional iPhone before I ate it at work doesn’t mean it’s not delicious! Please note that this is not strict paleo but life is about breaking the rules.
