  • I’m on the Bumble Bee Bee Squad!

    Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

    BeeSquadBadgeI can’t believe I forgot to tell you guys this-last month, I was invited to join a fantastic group of bloggers in a 6 month campaign to spread the word about Bumble Bee products! They sent me a huge box full of cans, pouches, and packages of tuna products, pasta and seasonings, and a great insulated lunch tote that my husband has been using to take his lunch to work for the last month. I participated in a great phone conference with a P.R. rep and a Bumble Bee rep, and we learned about Bumble Bee products, the company’s commitment to sustainability, and talked about ways that busy Moms can use tuna and other Bumble Bee products to make meal time easier!

    I’ll be bringing you recipes, news, and product info about Bumble Bee along with these bloggers:

    Samantha at www.astheygrowup.com
    Karen at www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy
    Emily at www.busy-mommy.com
    Nicole at www.nicolesnickels.com
    Kasey at www.ahookalineandagirl.com
    Amanda at www.mommymandy.com
    Caryn at www.rockinmama.net

    I looooove tuna sandwiches, which I make very simply by just mixing tuna with mayo and a little bit of minced onion (fresh or dried, whatever I have). Then I spread some of the tuna salad on one piece of wheat bread and then here’s my secret-spread a bit of Dijon mustard on the other piece of bread. It is SOOOOO good. A piece of green leaf lettuce, a slice of tomato if they are in season, and it’s the best sandwich in the world!

    If you normally buy tuna in the can, give the tuna in a pouch a try sometime. It’s specially packaged so no extra liquid is needed, so you just tear open the pouch and you are ready to eat!  I like my tuna cold, so I keep pouches and cans in the fridge so they are ready when the mood strikes.

    Bumble Bee also sent me their new Sensations, which are tuna flavored with lemon & cracked pepper, spicy thai chili, or sundried tomato and basil. Those are available in Easy Peel Bowls, and in packages with crackers and a plastic spreader.  My oldest son loved the spicy thai flavor, I like the lemon mixed with some mayo.

    I recently received a package from Bumble Bee with their canned crabmeat, which I’m planning to use to make Crab Dip and that spread where you put a block of cream cheese on a plate, put the crabmeat on top, and pour cocktail sauce on top. So good!  I’ll post updates as I get them, and more recipes as I make them! Thanks goes to Bumble Bee for inviting me to join the Bee Squad!
