This recipe is not [...]
Break Out the Tuna Can for Lenten Fridays

With meetings and activities, it can sometimes seem easier to just pick up dinner than to make something at home. We have fallen into that trap way too many times. We almost did it again the other night, but with under ten minutes and minimal effort on my part, we had dinner from home.
To begin, [...]
