If you have ever picked up any diet book or followed any fad diet, tuna is always at the top of the list of items you are encouraged to eat. “They” often tout it as the perfect way to sneak more protein into your daily life.

It makes sense. Tuna is packed with protein, a mighty 15 grams of protein per 2 oz serving. And it will only cost you 70 calories. Those are pretty impressive stats, friends, making tuna a total win to add to your meal and snack rotations.

But let’s face it, tuna by itself can be a little bit meh. But the good news is that tuna is a blank palette and can be transformed entirely with a few simple ingredients. And if you are looking for a tuna recipe without mayonnaise because you are not a fan, then you, my friend, are in the RIGHT place. As a lover of tuna fish, I have decided to share a few of my favorite tuna recipes that I have continually turned to over the years to help me keep my tuna eating healthy and keep me on track with meeting my health and wellness goals. These three tuna-terrific recipes are easy healthy recipes that are great for a light lunch, snack, or even a simple healthy meal. I like to keep things simple and easy, and you will find all three of these recipes just that!

These recipes are so good they went VIRAL on Buzzfeed!

With St. Patricks Day fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to revisit and freshen up one of my very first posts on {maybeiwill} it seems like a lifetime ago.

One thing hasn’t changed, friendships. There will always be a friend that needs a little dose of sunshine and good luck, so this still idea for a St Patricks Day gift basket is still a fun and very relevant gift idea.

Back in 2013, my good friend was having a case of crazy bad luck. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another! It seemed just as things would start to get better, something else BIG would come up! My heart went out to her and her cute little family! During that time, I was thinking of ways I could brighten her day and make her life a little bit easier.

So the Bucket of LUCK became a thing and even went viral on Pinterest for a bit! I remember taking it and dropping it off for her cute family and how much it meant to her that I would take the time to come up with such a thoughtful gift. Kindness matters! So this Saint Patrick’s Day, let’s sprinkle some kindness and share some good luck with all those in our lives, friends, family members, and loved ones that need a heaping dose of it.

It may not be a heaping pot of gold, but it is a perfect time and a very special day to spread some luck out in the world.
