This recipe was amazing. Even the kids liked the tuna. I cut the red pepper by half and it was still nicely spicy.

Mary Ann is great, love everything she does and say–especially the three Hail Mary recitation before she removes her cakes from the pan. Wanted to buy her book at Barnes and Nobel; however, it was higher priced this month; so I am waiting until it goes on sale. Lady said it was on sale in September. I enjoy your shows, it airs here at 7 a.m. CST.
Thanks for teaching the basic, so many do not even offer Home Economic Classes. Thanks again.
