Now that Trent is off formula and eating more real food, I need to think of things to feed him at lunch. I've been a bit stumped. But I found this recipe from another mommy blogger, and I think I will try this next week.
7-10 oz tuna-drained,
1 egg,
1 tsp fresh parsley
1 cup bread crumbs
1 TB whole wheat flour, olive oil, salt and pepper
Mash the tuna a/ the egg, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper
Add bread crumbs, mix well. Then add enough flour to bind mixture together.
Shape into 15-20 balls
Refrigerate for 15 min. & preheat your oven to 375
Drizzle olive oil on baking sheet, place tuna bites on top, drizzle more olive oil on top of tuna bites
Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes. Add some veggies and enjoy!

Marinated Tuna Sandwiches
Ingredients:
2 crusty hoagie or French rolls
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, bruised
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 can (2.25-ounce size) sliced black olives
1 perfectly ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 can (6.5-ounce size) white albacore tuna, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Tear off sheets of plastic wrap, each large enough to wrap a sandwich.
Split open a hoagie roll and lay open on each sheet. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Rub the bread with the bruised garlic; discard the garlic. Sprinkle each roll half with 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
On the bottom half of each hoagie roll layer 1/4 of the onion, olives, tomatoes, tuna and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the top half of the hoagie roll on and wrap each sandwich tightly in the plastic wrap.
Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate 2 or more hours before serving to allow flavors to intensify and "marinate" the sandwich.

One-Pot Tuna and Mac
2 1/2cups (625 mL) water
2 chicken or vegetable bouillon cubes (or 1 tbsp/15 mL bouillon powder)
2cups (500 mL) small pasta shells (or elbows or other small pasta shape
1cup (250 mL) milk
2cups (500 mL) fresh, frozen or canned green beans, peas or broccoli, cut into 1/2 in. (1 cm) pieces
1/4tsp (1 mL) black pepper
1 1/2cups (375 mL) cheddar cheese, shredded
184g can chunk tuna, drained
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and bouillon cubes or powder to a boil over high heat. Add the uncooked pasta and bring back to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the milk, veggies and pepper and continue to cook, partially covered, for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, add the cheese and tuna and stir just until the cheese is melted.
