Well, we are officially in Texas but lucky for us we had a fantastic Florida vacation back home before our big move! As we always do, we pigged out dined on delicious Florida seafood our whole trip. One of our favorite seafood dishes was Smoked Tuna Dip. 
This trip we had the Smoked Tuna Dip at Bric a Brac and Lulu’s in Destin.
Check out both restaurants. They are amazing!
My husband and Ava could seriously devour a whole bowl of this stuff on their own so I knew I wanted to make it at home!
Our traditional family dinner at Acme Oyster House in Destin.
My Uncle Bill, pie baker and meat cooker extraordinaire, is the one who shared his Smoked Tuna Dip recipe with me and it was a hit with the whole fam -including the kiddos!
Picking up some fresh tuna, shrimp, grouper, and a basket full of other delicacies we just had to have from Joe Patti’s Seafood Market in Pensacola. I make it a point to stop here every time I visit Pensacola {you should too}!

Sweet Stella was fond of the giant lobster and the free kid’s gelato too!
You can smoke your own tuna on the grill or even bake it and add some Liquid Smoke.

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp green onions diced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic diced
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • additional lemon wedges for garnish

For optional marinade:

  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki or soy sauce

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until creamy.
  • Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Scoop into a bowl and garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley.
  • Serve with crackers or pita chips for dipping and extra lemon wedges on the side.
  • To smoke you own tuna:
  • Chop tuna steaks into cubes and add to a ziptop bag.
  • Add marinade and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat smoker {we use our charcoal grill with wet wood chips}, cover, and cook over indirect heat until the tuna is flaky and cooked.
  • Remove and cool completely.

Notes

*No smoker? You can also bake in the oven and add some Liquid Smoke for flavor.

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
