Note:

Alexander and Taylor had always been fans for Baked Tuna. Lately, Alexander had discovered his tastebuds on tarts. He was never been fond of anything made of pastry. However, after the experience and learned about making homemade pasta from our latest trip, he discovered the other side of his tastebuds.

I baked this Cheesy Tuna Tarts this evening for dinner, and the two boys kept on coming out to the kitchen checking it out. Once it's done, I hadn't had time to take fotos because the two boys had feasted on it!
