You mentioned in one of your healthy eating articles to buy tuna in brine. I’m not sure where is it that you can find this. I looked in the grocery store and they didn’t have it.

Hi Gena,
Tuna in brine, means Tuna fish in water, not in oil or any sauce.
Here is a good brand of Tuna in water at Amazon, the price per can is $1.70 which seems good to me.
Tuna is very good for a diet. Because I am vegetarian who eat fish, I often use it when I want quickly to lose some weight.
I cook it on sandwiches, soups, bake it, cook it with vegetables – there are hundreds of recipes and the most important thing it is healthy and delicious.
Here is a book with tuna fish recipes, some of them:
1) tuna and sweet corn chowder–my husband and kids loved it!
2) tuna tapanade–friends dropped by and I made this instant tuna spread with ingredients I had in my cupboard.
3) tuna, lemon and caper crostini– elegant and easy with great “wow” factor.
4) deep-fried tuna wontons–sounded weird, tried it, tasted fab.
5) tuna and bacon stuffed baked potatoes– pure comfort food.
6) curried tuna and chutney salad with mango–awsome tuna salad.
7) tuna reuben sandwich–I think I like it better than the original with corned beef!
8) grilled eggplant, tuna and roasted red pepper panini–totally awesome sandwich.
9) classy tuna noodle casserole–simply fab. I served it to guests and they all wanted the recipe.
10) extra lemony tuna risotto–so good and easy I’ve made it 6 times already.
Hope this helps,
Rumi
