It’s the new year and with remembering to write 2015 on my checks also comes a wave of personal goals that I want to accomplish. My family purchased a gym membership in December so we could all do more exercising. My husband has requested that I serve more fish and seafood for dinner. For my own personal health, I am stepping closer and closer to a grain-free lifestyle. With an eye still on my food budget, I am adding meals of seafood without grain by using Bumble Bee® seafood products like their Fancy Lump Crab and Tiny Shrimp 
Bumble Bee® Seafood products are really versatile and quite economical. You can use them in appetizers, soups, sandwiches and dinner. Using canned seafood saves time in the kitchen, too, because you do not have to worry about taking time to clean and shell or de-bone the fish or seafood. In the time it takes to open a can, you can turn a simple dinner into a special meal by adding shrimp, crab or tuna. Available in can or pouch, each Bumble Bee® product is an easy and delicious way to add a variety of nutrients to your diet, including lean protein, healthy fat, and important vitamins and minerals.
As part of my grain-free resolution, I am using more spaghetti squash instead of pasta. By using Bumble Bee® shrimp and crab, I was able to create an easy, but delicious Seafood Curry for a quick, nutritious weeknight meal. It was not heavy at all, but filled us up, leaving us patting ourselves on the back at sticking to our goal…at least so far.
