Updating as we go

Early in 2021, I relocated and started updating my website; I’ve been making changes and improving everything as I go. This recipe is one of the many things I’ve tried to improve.

A way to make tuna interesting

For a long time, tuna was on the menu almost every weekend; it was tuna melts all around, and I got bored with it. In an effort to spice things up a little, I decided to replace the easy mayo with something creamy, spicy, and that wouldn’t lead to complaints from the kids. I made this dressing for tuna lettuce wraps and as a nice alternative for tuna melts.
