I Can't Tuna Piano, but I Can Tuna Fish






I offer this:  you do  not have to cook your dinner in a microwave in order to have a really good dinner in about twenty minutes.  From the time I got home feeling cranky and hungry, I was sitting down enjoying my hot meal (pictured above) in just over twenty minutes.

Tuna steak on mixed greens:  smack the tuna in a hot pan for about three minutes a side (it comes out with the middle still rare).  Cook it more if you want.  Really it's okay.  You won't hurt my feelings.  I marinated it for few minutes first in Lawry's sesame ginger marinade.  When the rest of that marinade got heated and started to carmelize I was just drooling like a rabid dog.  Or least a rabid bunny.  Suddenly I flashed on a scene from Monty Python, but that's beside the point.   

Sweet potato:  Microwave on each side for about five minutes to get it cooked all the way through.  You can cook this while the other stuff is cooking.  Let it sit for a minute or so, though, before cutting it open or you'll get a painful burst of really hot air.

I had some leftover whole wheat linguini, so I boiled it up and spinkled (okay, dumped) grated cheese and some Shedd's Spread on it.  Added some Shedd's Spread to the sweet potato, and EUROPA!  There's dinner in about twenty minutes!

Dig this-and this is the beauty part-the whole meal has only about 1% of your daily fat requirement (a good thing) and about 24% of your daily fiber requirement (a SUPER thing)!

Bon Apetit, Y'all!
