These sweet and spicy tuna rolls are quick and easy but oh so yummy! Rolled up seaweed in or seaweed out, they make a great appetizer or a light lunch.
The kids are in swimming lessons on Friday nights. It was a great concept, in theory; end the week with lessons and a swim at the pool. My yobo joins us and swims with the kids. It sounds lovely. And it is, except that dinner still needs to be made, my yobo can’t always make it there and it is 6:30 when we get home! If I am organized, I have dinner planned before we go, but more often than not, I am throwing it together when we get home. This week’s throw together menu… sweet and spicy tuna rolls and zucchini pancakes!
“You are crazy!” you are thinking. No, really, they are that easy. 🙂
