Lime Tuna Tacos with Chipotle Cream Sauce - a healthy, fresh and easy weeknight dinner from www.thepinkflour.com #tuna #dinner #OceanNaturals #shop #cbias

I love tuna - give me seared ahi tuna, a good spicy tuna roll, or even just some tuna fish on crackers and I'm a happy camper. In high school, I use to bring those packs of tuna with crackers for lunch. I vividly remember people complaining about how it smelled, but it didn't phase me. I thought it was such a yummy and healthy lunch.

Since I can't have raw tuna right now since I'm pregnant, I'm limited to canned tuna (in moderation, of course), so I was excited to try this new tuna from Ocean Naturals. Ocean Naturals prides itself on tasting good, being good for you and good for the planet - all things I love. You can even find out where your tuna came from by entering in the code from your can on their website.

If you're not new around here, you've probably noticed I like to make weeknight dinners that are quick on prep, but don't sacrifice taste. These tacos are no exception! The chipotle cream sauce is my new favorite and I even lightened it up by using Greek yogurt.

Yields -4 servings

2 cans tuna (I used Ocean Naturals Skip Jack Tuna), drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 glove garlic, pressed 
1 lime, sliced into quarters
1 6oz. container of plain Greek yogurt

2 avocados, pitted and sliced
Shredded cabbage
Corn Tortillas

1. For chipotle sauce, chop up one chiptole pepper into tiny pieces. Next, in a small bowl, combine greek yogurt, pepper & 2 teaspoons of adobo sauce from chiptole can until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.

2. In a medium skillet, saute the olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add the tuna and squeeze in lime juice from half a lime. Stir, breaking up any large chunks of tuna and heat for 3-5 minutes until hot.

3. To assemble tacos, spoon into tortilla tuna, then top with cabbage, avocado slices and chipotle sauce. If desired, serve with slices of limes that can be squeezed onto the taco.Enjoy!

Loaded Caramel Apples with Halloween Punch

28 October 2013

Thanks to Collective Bias I created these easy Loaded Caramel Apples and Halloween Punch that are perfect for a Halloween party.

I love red apples. Give me a Gala, a Fuji, or a Red Delicious apple any day of the week. But green apples - not so much. They're too tart for me. But dip a Granny Smith apple in caramel and I'm there. There's something about a green apple covered in something sweet that I just love.
 Growing up, my grandma would make us caramel apples and I just loved them.  I figured there were difficult to make, so never attempted them myself. When I finally made them a few years ago, I was amazed at how easy they were.

So here is my easy recipe for delicious caramel apples and yummy Halloween punch. These are such a fun treat!

Loaded Caramel Apples - easy Halloween caramel apples topped with M&M's, Twix & Snickers from www.thepinkflour.com #shop

Loaded Caramel Apples


5 wooden sticks
5 Granny Smith Apples, washed and thoroughly dried
1 package caramel bits or sqaures
2 Tbsp water
Candy of your choice (I used the Twix, Snickers, M&M's & Peanut M&M's)

1. Remove the stems from the apples and then insert the wooden stick into each apple. 
2. Chop up or crush the candy into your desired size (I chopped up the Snickers & Twix and crushed the Peanut M&M's), set asside. 
3. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the caramel and water for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir to ensure it is thoroughly melted. 
4. Dip each apple into the caramel, spooning the caramel over the apple to cover completely. Let the excess drip off and scrap the bottom of the apple to remove any excess. Then, sprinkle with candy pieces. Set on wax paper and let set in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Halloween Punch


Mix 1 part Hawaiian Fruit Punch & 1 part 7Up in a glass filled with ice. Stir and serve.
