Three Onion Wild Tuna Fish Salad

Three Onion Wild Tuna Fish Salad

By on May 25, 2009 in Fast/Frugal, Gluten free, Meats, Poultry & Seafood, Recipes

I think tuna fish is often overlooked, forgotten or people are fearful to eat it.  It’s a great meal or snack packed with 14 grams of protein and only 100 calories per 2 ounces.  I know there are concerns of mercury levels in tuna.  There is a lot of information out there and I suggest [...]

By on May 21, 2009 in Celiac disease, Gluten free, Inside Scoop, Opinions

This past month our family has taken on the job of taste testing new gluten free products we found at the grocery store.  It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.  Each family member has their own list of foods we can and cannot eat, so no one person could or would eat [...]

Pesto Shrimp on Polenta Portobellos

By on May 20, 2009 in Fast/Frugal, Gluten free, Meats, Poultry & Seafood, Recipes
