"I had some tuna steaks that I found in the back of the freezer. I thought they might be fishy tasting so I was attempting to cover them up, but instead came up with a wonderful different way of fixing tuna"

First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight.  I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off.  My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle. When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag.  But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.
