Hello September!
Hey all, I’ve decided to finally make a comeback. I have not been creating much of anything for my blog and it’s time I get back to it. It has been a weird time. And I’m not talking about Covid or anything even related to it. I am simply referring to my lack of ideas relating to anything food. Usually I love being in the kitchen and creating new things. But that has just not been the case and so I decided to step away for just a bit. These quick and easy tuna melts pretty much sum up my food life situation lately. I want heathy, delicious, and as few ingredients as possible. Yet, that kind of sums up what I want all of the time.
I have had some of the best months of my life the last few months with my little fam. We have been on the road a lot going to motocross races and I wouldn’t change it for anything. The conditions can be hot, humid (yes I’m looking at you Oklahoma this past July), windy, rainy, you-name-it but at the end of the day my husband and I still glance at each other and rattle off how we just had the best day ever! It’s the moto culture, the people, the riding, all of it that makes it so awesome. If you know, you just know.
Fast forward to now and all my children are now in school and it’s just me at home. Great, right?! Well one would assume so but it’s actually so different I’m having a hard time getting used to it. Been job hunting so hard and have turned down a couple already. So here I am, back to doing what I know and love.
This is not a sponsored post by any means, but for your sake I like to give you the details on what makes a recipe great. A good tuna melt relies heavily on good tuna and this is good tuna. Trust me on this.
Is it going to turn out just fine with something different? Well yes it will but if you want the same results as me then I would strongly recommend this Genova tuna. I have a hard time buying anything else and you never know when a tuna shortage is going to come along so snag some the next time you’re at the store.
