I want to thank Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures for all of their hard work in making this event so successful.

I missed posting yesterday.  I had planned to make these Tuna Steaks on Wednesday.  I served them with a side salad made of white beans that I was going to post on Thursday.  Then, life got in the way and we ended up eating dinner out on Wednesday which meant my salad wasn't made and posted.

Oh well, into the archives it goes and I will share it with you at another time.  We did have these delicious tuna steaks last night.  Not only did I serve the bean salad but I also started with some amazing stuffed grilled Portabellas.  I paired it all with a sparkling Lambrusco and will be sharing that recipe and my thoughts on the pairing on the first Saturday of June.

This recipe comes from Rachel Ray's television show, 30 Minute Meals.  I don't know about you but when summer hits I want to spend my time enjoying Friday nights with a bottle of wine, a wonderful, easy dinner and a soak in the pool.  This recipe fits the bill.

The white bean salad is a perfect accompaniment that takes about 2 minutes to make.  Toss together a green salad and call it a night. TGIF......
