Happy belated New Year to all the friends and fans of the Kitchen Witch! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are embracing the New Year with happiness and passion. There's something about January that lifts my spirits - maybe its because the sun comes out more this month - but mostly because I get excited about all the new experiences I'm going to have this year. And all the new people I'm going to meet.
I know as I type this that there are friends I haven't met yet just waiting to come into my life and soul changing experiences down the road and around the corner that I will have this year just as you will too!
On the way there, though, we've got to eat right? And you know I'm all about flavour. Which is why I'm super excited to share my latest easy, healthy, budget friendly recipe - this time from the pantry!
Albacore tuna is simmered in a briny olive infused tomato sauce with a bite of heat and a hint of cinnamon. The flavour combinations just pop in the mouth making this a restaurant quality meal that won't break the bank or your belt buckle :-)
