Mediterranean Tuna Salad
This tuna salad is so simple yet so full of flavor!
Canned tuna is on my list of pantry staples because it is full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and support brain and heart health.
This salad is also loaded with colorful veggies providing fiber and antioxidants.
This tuna salad keeps well in the fridge for several days so make it in advance and have it for lunch all week long!

Salmon Papillote
Salmon cooked en papillote, which means wrapped in a packet of parchment (or foil), is a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked salmon, but it isn’t difficult.
Fold a fillet into a cut piece of parchment, and then layer it with seasonings & vegetables
Then simply bake the packets until done.
The steam created by the parchment produces reliably moist salmon, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner.

I was on our weekly zoom call with my tribe and one of the sisters were asking about tweaking a recipe... I realized.. I do this all the time -bad or good habit? Obviously not a rule follower when it comes to recipes 😂😂
