The biscuit squares get a head start with biscuit/baking mix and canned tuna. Instead of using American cheese, consider topping your tuna squares with slices of Swiss cheese or with shredded cheese.-Elizabeth Montgomery, Allson, MA

TUNA AND CAPER BITES
One weekend while camping, my sister-in-law whipped up a simpler version of these tasty tuna bites as a snack. I decided to add capers, shallot, and lemon to make these elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party! I highly recommend using Mary's Gone Crackers® brand seed crackers; they not only provide the perfect nutty flavor, but they are also very crispy and sturdy, allowing these to be made an hour or two ahead of time.

TUNA BISCUIT BRAID
This recipe comes from the Chicago Tribune, published in the 1980s. I made it often but lost the recipe one day. I searched online for years, trying to find it again, and even tried to recreate it from memory, but nothing was quite right. We're remodeling the kitchen now, and lo and behold, the recipe card fell to the floor when we took the old cabinets down! So here it is, never to be lost again.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for canned tuna packed in olive oil or water. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it can overpower the flavor of the braid.
- Choose your cheese wisely: Use a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère. For a stronger flavor, use a sharp cheddar or Parmesan.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the dough hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake until the braid is golden brown: The braid should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Insert a toothpick into the center of the braid; if it comes out clean, the braid is done.
Conclusion:
Tuna biscuit braid is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick meal or snack. With its flaky biscuit dough, savory tuna filling, and melted cheese, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give tuna biscuit braid a try!
