Tuna Croquettes

The older I become, the more I’m all about organization and having a place for everything. I find myself constantly looking for the perfect pieces to organize my life, from my bathroom to my kitchen. I organized my pantry last spring and it made life so much better! My kitchen still needed help in other areas, so I was excited to learn about Rubbermaid Brilliance containers; they have totally upgraded my fridge and elevated my food prep! These containers are crystal clear, 100% leak proof and made of stain resistant material.

The modular design makes Rubbermaid Brilliance containers easy to stack, which makes organizing my fridge a breeze. I recently tuned into Rubbermaid’s Instagram Live Prep School with Katherine Schwarzenegger and Jocelyn Delk Adams of Grandbaby Cakes, where they used a few simple everyday ingredients to create so many delicious dishes! Since we’re going to the store less and cooking at home more, it’s so important that your most-used ingredients stay fresh and that your prepped meals keep for as long as possible. If you missed the Live, be sure to check Rubbermaid’s IGTV on Instagram for the recap. 

Tuna Croquettes

I created all of these dishes using my everyday pantry staples. I selected ingredients I always have on hand which are rice, coconut milk, chickpeas and canned tuna.  Some are already on the blog while the Tuna Croquettes are new!  I made Chickpea Rice, Coconut Rice, Sauteed Chickpeas, Chickpea Curry, Tuna Croquettes and tuna sandwiches.  For the tuna sandwiches I made a simple tuna salad with canned tuna, mayo, sweet relish, finely diced celery, red onion, salt and pepper and sandwiched it with a crusty Italian bread I found at the local bakery.
