Tuna With Apricot Chipotle Glaze
This is a fab tuna recipe the chipotle sauce works great with this with just the right amount of sweet meets spicy. I love tuna and this recipe is another one that is a little different than the usual way you see tuna prepared with a great tasting end result. I made some avocado salsa to go with this and topped with a couple of prawns as they were on special. I also served it with sliced mango and red pepper for a refreshing, delicious healthy meal. You could also serve this with rice if you wanted to add more carbs. To view more photos and read more reviews of this recipe please click here.

Javanese Roasted Salmon
This recipe is simple, quick and tastes exceptional, I love salmon and this is a great way to make it. It is yet another swap recipe, I love these swaps but I feel Like I make more of these than my own recipes as of late. I can not apologise as I love making and reviewing others recipes and it gives you nights of not even having to think of what to make, let alone having to measure and record every ingredient.

Since starting this blog which I have so much pleasure in doing and almost feel guilty when I do not have the time in a day to post. I have taken so much time in meal planning and what tends to be the biggest thing, which is measuring the exact amounts that I am using and taking notes so I can list accurately, the amounts to whoever is enjoying my blog the next day.

Making others recipes is a great opportunity to try something new, which I love, but they have already measured out ingredients, so I do not make my family wait for so long. and I can also split the month between my own and others.
