Why on the fly? Because I had 15 minutes to eat something before I had to leave and this is what I came up with. Just got cans of tuna from Vitacost, had boiled a few eggs the other day, and had a bunch of half cut salad veggies from just life. So I literally spooned out half a can of tuna, peeled an egg, cut up some veggies really quick, threw in some vinegary oily things, and inhaled my lunch:
I have to say, it wasn’t the worst. In fact, I’d make this even if I wasn’t in a hurry. And it was really nice on the wallet too. Check out the cost breakdown:
I was wondering if the fact that I bought wild tuna would affect the cost, but since I filled it out with an egg, I was able to stretch it.
