This is a recipe intended to highlight some our local favorite partners and while substitutions might be simple, for the best flavor, please step out and support these fabulous businesses: Ridgeline Spice Co & Furrow and Fly. In case you hadn’t heard, La Cuisine, our sister store also stocks the Ridgeline Spice products!
Reminiscent of a simple meal from my childhood, I was low on time (or maybe it was energy), yet wanted a tasty meal at home rather than taking the time to go out. Let’s be honest, Furrow & Fly English muffins are the best there is and I had a spare package in the freezer! To increase the nutritional value, I designed this recipe with more veggies than a typical creamed tuna might have. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do…
