The United States Department of Agriculture says twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
I had an uneventful weekend, illustrated by the fact that the highlight may have been a to-die-for tuna wrap I created. This is seriously exciting to me, because I don't love mayonnaise and have been on the pursuit of creamy alternatives to mix with tuna for years. Here's my latest and absolutely greatest discovery...

Directions:
Mix and wrap with a whole wheat tortilla.
Because of a dinner with friends tonight and a trip to the mainland that begins Thursday evening (we have a wedding in Austin, TX followed by a couple days of vacation with Lloyd's family in Beaver Creek, Colorado), I only planned two quick suppers for the week.

I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Kailua, HI on the island of Oahu where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps JAG.
People in Hawaii eat more fish and shellfish than average, but over 80 percent of typical Americans don't eat seafood at least twice per week. Doctors and dietitians like me say that's the goal, so BlogAboutSeafood is here to show you just what plenty of seafood looks like in an RD's real-life diet.
