Mmm....Dinner and Football

This is my first post of the year...thought it would be one about when I expect in the year to come, but I have not gotten my thoughts organized on that yet...so instead you get to hear about the dinner we made tonight that was oh, so good...

We were originally going to have chili dogs and tater tots...but I woke up wanting something more healthy so we went with Tuna Burgers, Sweet Potato fries, and a spinach casserole.

The Tuna Burger is easy...we put our tuna steak in the food processor and then add this seasoning mix from Emeril, on the bun we put his soy mayo also.

Emeril's Burger Seasoning

2 ½ tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons table salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

2 teaspoons black pepper

2 teaspoons ground mustard

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to blend thoroughly. Store in an airtight container. Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of ground beef, turkey, or chicken.

Dried herbs, such as basil, thyme, oregano, marjoram, or sage may also be added depending on the flavor profile desired.

Soy Mayo

1/4 cup plus

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup mayonnaise

In a very small saucepan combine the remaining soy sauce and the sugar and cook until reduced to a syrup, 2 to 3 minutes. The soy-sugar mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool completely. When cooled, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the soy glaze to the mayonnaise and refrigerate until ready to serve the burgers. (The remaining soy glaze may be kept indefinitely at room temperature and used to drizzle on grilled salmon or grilled tuna.)

Then we did this Creamy Spinach Casserole that is just awesome
