Under Construction

This site is currently under construction, so I apologize if you are having any problems. I'm going to be making some changes over the next week so if you notice something weird please let me know!

I'm off this weekend to spend some time with the Grandparents (Matthew's, that is) and so I will leave you with a quick recipe. In an attempt to eat healthier, I've been gathering recipes and trying new things every night. Most of the things we've tried have been ok, but not great. We had this one for dinner last night and it was so good I couldn't stop myself from having a second serving! It was really fast to make, and normally I'm not a tuna fan but I really did love this. Only change I made was to substitute french sandwich rolls for the whole wheat bread, mainly because that is just what I had on hand, but the roll was so perfect that I don't think I would use anything else now! This comes from the site Eating Well, check it out for lots of good recipes!
