Found this recipe at one of my daily visit blogs. The recipe called for canned clams, but instead I decided to try it with some canned tuna. Man was this delicious! Even better with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if it. Lemon and tuna go really well together I think. I’m going to have to do some searching for some more tuna recipes or maybe try and come up with some of my own. I get pretty sick of tuna sandwiches all the time.
I’ve been having that a lot for lunch lately with some pickles. Low fat mayo of course. Like I said in a post below this one, that one of the grocery stores here has canned tuna for .$48 a can. What a steal that is. I picked up 5 cans of that so I’m pretty stocked up for awhile. Have any tuna recipes to share? Please do!
