That’s a different way to eat tuna. I’ll bet it’s tasty.
I’ve never had pizza with tuna on it. I eat tuna usually once a week. Nice change of pace.
I am going to try this pizza recipe. My husband was just suggesting that we make our own pizza at home. I can control all the toppings and seasonings. We are watching our salt intake.
This sounds ok
This sounds like a great recipe! I’d love to try it.
