For a long time now we have heard how good fish is for you. Fish is low in fat, good for your heart and aids in proper growth and development in children. More recently there have been warnings that fish contain mercury and eating large amounts should be avoided.

The FDA still stands behind their statement that eating fish is very helpful in maintaining a healthy life. Many pregnant women avoid fish because they worry about Mercury. The FDA advises pregnant women to eat fish that are low in Mercury like canned light tuna.

They state that the benefits of eating fish are still there but the levels of mercury are low enough that the average size woman can safely eat light tuna once every four days.

Tuna is one of the staples in our cupboards. We always have a few cans on hand. Just the other day James did not feel like making himself a meal so he quickly made a couple tuna sandwiches for himself. I even let him in on my little secret. My tuna sandwiches taste so good because I use tartar sauce instead of mayo and then I add in some Cajun Seasoning mix.

Back when I got my first apartment and money was tight my roommate and I would make a huge batch of healthy tuna pasta salad. A friend of ours would bring vegetables out of their garden so we would just need tuna, pasta, and mayo.

The ingredients would change according to what vegetables we had on had but the usual ingredients were... Cooked and drained pasta, tuna, mayo, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots. I liked to add some seasoning salt or Cajun seasoning mix.

It helped that we could easily make the pasta and then mix it all together. Not only did we have little money but we had very little time too. We would mix up a huge batch and then have food to last us for a few days.
