Ever since I was a kid, I was never a fan of seafood…except for canned tuna. But, I’ve only eaten it in the form of a sandwich. Nothing less nothing more.

You all know I want to start cooking more, so I was checking out the Betty Crocker web site and I came across this recipe for tuna burgers.

I don’t think I’ve seen a tuna burger before. Ok, call me sheltered, but I think I might just make this for dinner tonight in honor of Lent. And just in case you’re interested you can also get a Hamburguesas de Salmón Asado con Salsa Tártara (Tartar-Topped Grilled Salmon Burgers) recipe on QueRicaVida.com.

Ingredients:

1 cup soft bread crumbs (about 2 slices bread)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
8 medium green onions, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 pouches (about 7 oz each) light tuna in water, drained, flaked
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 sandwich buns, split
4 tablespoons dill dip

Step 1
In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except butter, buns and dill dip. Shape mixture into 4 patties, 3 1/2 inches in diameter, using heaping 1/2 cupful for each patty.

Step 2
In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add patties; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until brown and thoroughly cooked. Serve on buns with dill dip.

Who loves trendy spring fashion under $30? If you answered yes, then I think you’re going to love Te Amo.

Te Amo wants you to “Love Your Style” with a full range of pieces available exclusively at Sears and Kmart at really affordable prices.

The trends are on cue with florals, amazing draped tops and dresses, and spring colors.

I wore the grey chained top courtesy of Te Amo and I got tons of compliments. It was edgier that what I was used to wearing, but that’s what I loved about it. Unfortunately, because it’s a junior line, a few of the pieces didn’t fit my curves. So, I want to give them to you.

One reader will win a “Spring Te Amo Prize Pack.” This includes four Te Amo pieces including the tops seen above. They are in size XL, once again, because it’s a junior line the sizes run small. So, it’s like an adult Large.

It’s the battle of all battles. The battle of struggling with your inner-self. Good girl vs. Bad girl.

Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, Natalie Portman, gives us, what I think is her best performance to date, in the psychological thriller Black Swan.

Natalie plays Nina, a timid and fragile New York ballerina fighting for the lead role in Swan Lake. She’s perfect for the dual role of the White Swan but, can she reach into her dark side for the role of the Black Swan? Can she let go of her vulnerability and innocence?

With the help of the artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) and a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), Nina takes us with her as she transforms and “loses herself.”

From beginning to end, I was mesmerized by this films ability to take hold of me and not let go. Nina’s struggle kind of became my own, as I sat on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next scene. I couldn’t believe the extremes Natalie went to for this role, but I applaud her for her courage. You could tell it was not only an emotionally draining role, but a physical one as well. It’s made my list as one of my “must see” films. Has it made yours?

Black Swan will be on DVD or Blu-ray tomorrow, March 29th.
