One Pot Tuna, Quinoa and Veggies

We don’t have much in the fridge due to not getting to the market at the weekend and it being VERY close to pay day…. Somehow I do my most creative cooking when my back is against the wall and I’m making do with what I’ve got. Tonight it was zucchini, tuna and quinoa. Throw in some frozen peas and corn, a tin of tomatoes and we have a meal!
