Tuna Teriyaki
This is another one I made this weekend from my group recipe swap. I loved the marinade and the flavours were so yummy and paired well with the tuna. I did cook my tuna in a pan for a few minutes each side rather than than under the grill. The tuna was full of flavour and had a lovely pink center.

Chicken Casserole
This is a great quick and tasty casserole, I made this as part of the swap I am in this month and this is one of 2 recipes I made from my team mate. I will be posting her wonderfully moist carrot cake recipe soon as we all enjoyed that one over the weekend. Back to the casserole it was really good and my family really like it we all liked the topping which was very creative using the Bisquick mix. I used carrot, mushroom, corn and peas as the vegetables and then it is just throw all the ingredients together and wait for it to cook.
