You must make these now. Seriously. They are so good. I mean good. Not overly sweet. All relatively healthy ingredients.

The recipe is from Pure Wow. These kinds of sites tend to get on my nerves because of the amount of email traffic but that doesn't seem to happen with Pure Wow. They got the recipe from Rebecca Katz.

Make these. Here is the recipe.

PS: the only place I could find unsweetened cherries is at Costco.

Brown Rice Pasta With Tuna, Olives, Fried Capers

Brown rice pasta sounded scary and intriguing. Whole wheat pasta really doesn't do it for me, but brown rice pasta does, apparently! And it's gluten free! Recipe is here.

I made this twice in two weeks, and we both loved it. The first time I used one can of tuna in oil, and one in water. The next time I used both cans of tuna in oil, and I don't think the taste is drastically different.

This is the brand of pasta I used:

I didn't fall into the terrible gluten coma I usually do after eating pasta!
