<\/p>\n

So it’s a Friday or Saturday night and your 20 year old self is ready to par-tay, but the 30 year old is ready for a date night at home followed by cozying up on the couch with a roaring fire, rom-con and big glass of wine. Seriously the inner struggle is real — even before Emerson.<\/p>\n

Since Emerson the Hubby and I have been focusing on saving even more money and like to have date nights in. Emerson goes to bed at 7 p.m. so it’s really easy.<\/p>\n

I’m a big fish person and probably cook salmon at least once a week. Looking to mix things up, I suggested trying Bumble Bee SuperFresh\u00ae<\/a> Seared AHI Tuna. We had nothing to lose, right?<\/p>\n

\nBumble Bee SuperFresh\u00ae<\/a> Seared Ahi Tuna is the first ever sushi quality \u201cThaw and serve\u201d packaged seafood product. It stays frozen during the processing and never fully defrosted or re-frozen during preparation, so we can guarantee our quality is on par with what you expect from fine chefs who know how to source the best product for their restaurants.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWhile their suggested Fall menu<\/a> sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G my sister had a different idea. Oh yeah, did I mention we were at my sister’s place in LA?<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOur menu was simple and full of flavor: Bumble Bee SuperFresh\u00ae<\/a> Seared AHI Tuna, Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and Saut\u00e9ed Balsamic Asparagus.<\/p>\n

\n2 tsp wasabi powder
\n salt & pepper to taste
\nchives for garnish [optional]<\/p>\n

Directions<\/b>
\nPlace potatoes in big pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10ish minutes.<\/p>\n

Drain potatoes. Break up potatoes using a mixer or masher. Add garlic, butter milk, wasabi salt and pepper. Mix until smooth. Add additional milk for a smoother consistency. Add additional wasabi, salt and pepper as needed. Garish with chives and enjoy!<\/p>\n
