Indi’s Tuna Melts (Open faced toasted sandwiches)
A few years ago, I was looking in the cabinets to decide on what to make for lunch. I spotted the tuna and decided to make my own spin on a tuna melt. My family loved these so much I decided to see what the calorie content and nutritional values were. I just finished the recipe on http://www.nutritiondata.com/ and was plesantly suprised about the calorie content. The link to the nutritional values is below the recipe. Enjoy!
