Spicy Tuna Pasta - is really easy and makes a light meal that tastes great any night of the week! It reheats nicely too!

I've had a different work schedule for several months, and it has been a challenge trying to make the new hours fit in with our lifestyle. I tried making meals on the weekend and eating leftovers all week, which left us with a lot of...well, leftovers. I don't know what we were eating, but it wasn't the leftovers!

Clearly that wasn't the answer! Then I came up with what I thought was truly genius! I prepped something during the day and Don did the cooking while I finished up at work! He did a fantastic job! That man can cook a steak like none other, and he learned how to roast chicken breasts to perfection! I was getting spoiled, but I could tell he wasn't into it quite as much as I. What a bummer! This girl could get used to being waited on every night! It was fun...while it lasted!
