Recipe tips


  • Eat seafood twice a week. Tuna is low in fat and easy to use. Watch your grocery store ads for sales and stock up.

  2. Open can of tuna fish and drain; put tuna in a small bowl.
  3. Add celery, carrot, onion, mayonnaise, and black pepper to the bowl; mix well.
  4. Slice English muffins in half. Put English muffins on cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Top each muffin with tuna veggie mixture and some shredded cheese.
