Start Here: About Don't Need Much Money

Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day.

Lunch Toast #2: Tuna, Sauerkraut, Everything Bagel Seasoning

This combination of canned tuna, sauerkraut, and everything bagel seasoning may seem like the oddest combination ever, but let me tell you, it is fabulous. I enjoy it so much more than traditional tuna salad and it is a lot easier to prepare. The acidic bight of the sauerkraut combined with the poppy, sesame, garlic, onion flavor of the everything bagel seasoning transforms canned tuna into something elevated and craveable.

I prefer to use canned tune in oil, not water. Since this is a mayo free tuna recipe, that little bit of extra fat helps give body to the tuna. I drain the oil but the residue oil is just enough. I add the tuna to a bowl and then add about 1/4 cup of sauerkraut and 1-2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning. I mix it all up like a traditional tuna salad. Then I toast up some of my sourdough bread and spoon on tuna salad bite by bite.

Probably the best part of this tuna salad aside is the secret health benefits. Tuna is such a great fish loaded with nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids. Then adding in the sauerkraut adds a probiotic that contributes to gut health. The only downside is the potential mercury content in the tuna so I limit consumption to just one can and I don't have this more than two times per week.
