What I love about this recipe is they are so good, you can’t tell it’s canned tuna! For years every summer I would can 100 pounds of tuna (fresh from the OR coast), but for now, we love the white albacore tuna from Costco.

The most popular lettuce used for wraps is often Iceberg lettuce! But for this recipe we love soft butter lettuce! If you love a crunch, you can use Romaine lettuce, too.

Eat a healthy lunch and take a walk

Here’s what happened yesterday. We were both working away toward a couple of deadlines, and it would have been easier to keep going.

Instead, we grabbed a healthy lunch. Drank an extra glass of water. Put on our snowshoes. And headed out for a couple of hours to enjoy nature, the white and glowing blue landscape. It’s so beautiful where we live (central Oregon).
