        Hi Anash, are you using Google Chrome? I did a little research and apparently Chrome and RSS feeds don’t place nice sometimes.

            Hi, try checking out the RSS feed now. I switched a few things around last week and it seems to be working in Chrome now (at least when I try!).

      I’ve never been a fan of canned tuna, but there happens to be a can in my cupboard right now, I think I will try this to serve at my Superbowl party!

      Most people I know avoid oil packed tuna like the plague. This is a great recipe. Thank you.

      @Heather Thanks! Yeah, the key to this dish is using good quality tuna. I got mine at Whole Foods.

      @Kimmie Chicken would be a good substitution!

      @Sandra I usually don’t use tuna packed in olive oil, but it is perfect for this recipe.

      @anash Interesting! I’ll have to do some testing to see what’s going wrong. I have counted your comment as an entry. Sorry about that!

      @Tiffany This spread only has a hint of tuna flavor. The lemon and oregano definitely come to the forefront, balancing everything out.

      @everyone Thank you so much for your entries!!!
