Cover and refrigerate remaining mixture. Drain the mixture from the tuna. Coat the grill with cooking spray and grill tuna for 5-7 minutes on both sides. Serve the tuna steaks with the remaining mixture.

Last week went ok. I strayed from the menu a bit and had waaaaay to much junk food! As always on the menu this week is chicken. I like having chicken on the menu because I can have it many different ways so it feels like I am not eating the same thing all the time. I can grill it and bake it and my kids like it too! This week I will make sure to stay on course. Enjoy!
