HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA



Hard Times Creamed Tuna image

Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

CREAMY TUNA TART



Creamy Tuna Tart image

As my DS does not like Tuna, I take any chance to try something different when he is not home and usually want something that is quick and so easy. Ahh well, when the kids are away....lol ;-) Found this recipe from Kraft, and it works quite well with salad & I think would work really well in winter with vegetables...... although I think a nice salsa or sauce would go really well with it also. Which I will add next time.
