Living on the coast we are sometimes forced to evacuate during hurricane season. Put this pasta salad in a covered container, and throw it in the cooler. It's a full meal in one bowl. It's easy to serve. Spoon it up into a cup and eat it in the car, camper, or in our case, a motel room! That's why we call it Evacuation Tuna & Pasta Salad.

Air Fryer Truffle Polenta Fries
These air fryer truffle polenta fries, flavored with truffle-infused oil and truffle zest, are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. I like to serve them alongside a steak—steak frites so to speak. Serve with any dipping sauce; I recommend a spicy mayo, marinara, ranch, or ketchup.
