Sushi-Inspired Tuna Salad
I have never in my life liked tuna, but I am a big sushi fan and this salad is incredible! I served mine on lettuce with a drizzle of soy sauce, and used half the wasabi suggested here. Next time I'll add minced avocado or carrots, too. Thanks for this gem!

Pasta Pomodoro
For all the ingredients that went into this, I'd have liked to taste some of them a bit more. This was very, very light, and, if served with a side (like the orange-glazed asparagus found here!), the four servings are more like eight! Not that having leftovers is a bad thing... it was just a lot of food. :)

Tortillas II
Instead of shortening, I used 3:1 parts butter and honey -- the honey definitely made the recipe.
