Day 9: Tuna Casserole!

Today Pete had to buy dog food and crickets. We can't neglect our animals because of a no-spend. Riley is a happy puppy and Larry (the Leopard Gecko) is currently hunting in his cage. Pete tried to fix the dishwasher for me but it wasn't cooperating. Hopefully we'll have it up and running soon.

Ronan wanted to practice homeschooling today so I sat with him for an hour and a half. Not bad, if I do say so. I need to work on creating my curriculum list so we know what else we need to get.

To say I'm sorry for slacking and not posting yesterday I wrote out my Tuna Casserole recipe. Actually I wrote it out because Alle asked what recipe I use, but I can pretend it's to say sorry, right? It's a modified/combined version of a bunch of recipes I found on allrecipes.com. I keep meaning to add peas, but I've forgotten every time Enjoy!

Kerry's Tuna Casserole
Ingredients:
1 lb pasta
2-4 Tbsp butter
2 5-6 oz cans of Tuna
~16 oz of Cheddar Cheese (I like things cheesy!)
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (I bet it would be good with any Cream of soup)
milk or water
frozen peas
~1 c. Italian Style breadcrumbs (you can use plain breadcrumbs seasoned with Oregano, Basil, Parsley and some Garlic Powder if you want)

1. Cook the pasta. Drain.
2. Mix butter with pasta so it melts
3. In a separate bowl, mix Cream of Chicken soup with 1 can of milk or water
4. Spray 9x13 pan with Pam
5. Layer in pan: 1/2 the pasta, 1 can tuna, some peas, 1/2 of the soup mix, 8 oz Cheddar
.. layer again in the same order
6. Cover with breadcrumbs (I really like breadcrumbs, so I go heavy)
7. Bake at 350 until you open the oven and hear it bubbling. The cheese should be melted and the middle should be hot to the touch. I think it's ~15-20 min.
8. Serve.
