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 [...]

Today was a beautiful day outside and just begged for everyone to go out and play.  So, we did.  My thoughtful husband suggested we take a ride in my convertible VW Bug and have a picnic at a state park.  He chose one about 45 minutes away that took us through the beautiful winding roads [...]

4 Gluten Free & Dairy Free Product Reviews

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

One thing I love about a shrimp dinner is it is fast and easy clean up.  Two things that make me and my husband (clean up duty) very happy.  This what we needed last night.  So I veered off the menu plan and started grabbing things out of the refrigerator, pantry and out to my [...]

I have not made this pie since last summer and can’t wait to get busy on this again.  I think this week I may use this same process and use the strawberries that are in season.  What are your favorite berries?  What fruit combinations do you bake? So far I’ve only found one problem with [...]
