The only way we ever ate tuna as kids was in sandwich form. And if you have ever eaten a soggy tuna sandwich that sat in a hot locker for 4 hours, you’ll know why I stayed away from it for many years.

Then one day my mother in law served tuna on a bagel with tomato,salt, and a lot of pepper and I fell in love all over again. Now you will always find a few cans of tuna in my pantry. Tuna is terrific for fast and easy meals. I love it in an avocado especially for lunch. The best part, a 2 ounce serving of wild selections tuna is only 1 point on weight watchers. So as you can imagine I have been eating tuna a lot lately.

Much to the kids dismay, Ian would love tuna noodle casserole at least once a week. But we, mainly me, are trying to cut back on the noodles. I love a good tuna melt, but then that really changes the whole 1 point on weight watchers benefit. So on a whim I tried a family favorite …baked sweet potatoes, and filled them with tuna topped with some greek yogurt, cilantro and a good dose of sriracha.
