What’s different about the old bay??
I love all your recipes. I would just like to see you make a few of that a little more diet friendly. It’s hard being on a budget and trying to reduce calories on all the less expensive food is so calorically dense.
Look very very good 👍🏻 I will try it thank you so much
Sometimes simple is great!
Screw your clickbait, forcing people to go through dozens of videos
Watched it
Nice. I love your creativity.
Im not a seafood person…but this looks really good!…thx for your recipes…have a good week❤
This looks really good!!
I've been eyeing some crawfish tails I might try this recipe with those. 😋🤤
That looks delicious and I’m not even a fan of seafood! 😋🩷
Tuna cakes and sautéed tuna are a nice chance from the typical tuna salad. You add eggs and seasonings of choice to some tuna, form patties and then fry them. You can also stretch it out by adding instant mashed potatoes. You can also skip on using eggs and just season as desired and stirfry it. It’s great on salad, in a sandwich, with rice or with other sides.
I developed a shellfish allergy at 50. I miss it so much. But this will allow me to enjoy the seafood taste without having a reaction.👍🏽🩷
