Cooking Club: Colorful Tuna Cassorle

Happy Saturday to you! We have another change in the cooking club. This year, as I said last week, we aren't doing the points, we are still supposed to submit our recipes and reviews by a certain date and here is the other new change. Every month not only do the recipes have to come from a different source than we have ever used, but each month one of the contributors (this month it was Rachel) will have to pick a recipe with a new ingredient they have never used before! We are going in order from youngest to oldest, so for February I will have to pick a recipe with an ingredient I have NEVER cooked with before. So there are might be some far out recipes by the end of the year.

This weeks recipe was submitted by me; this was my easy/food pantry recipe submission. Everyone but Rachel submitted their recipes late (doh! bad way to start the year) so we don't have a beautiful picture from Rachel like usual, but just the picture from where I got the recipe--which was from iFood an App on my iPad from Kraftfood.
