Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna casserole is an oldie, but a goodie!  It's a simple recipe that most people have had at one point or another.  I remember begging for this casserole whenever I would go over to my Grandpa and Step Grandma's house.  She would make it for me and always put on extra toppings.  I would practically eat half the casserole myself! 

Now I make it for my own family and it doesn't last long!  Try this one soon if you want a hearty tasty dish that maybe makes you feel just a bit nostalgic. 

Ingredients:

- 1 can Cream of Celery Soup
- 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 or 2 cans of tuna, drained
- 1 can of green beans or peas (your choice!), drained
- 1 bag of Egg Noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups crushed potato chips for topping



Directions:

1.  Cook your egg noodles until tender and drain. 

2.  Mix all ingredients except for the chips together and spread into a baking dish.  Crush your chips and sprinkle over the top.



3.  Bake @ 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until chips are golden brown.  Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Here's the final product....

Comfort food at it's best!  Serve with a garden salad and some buttery rolls and you have the perfect simple weeknight meal!  Enjoy!

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

This soup is one I tossed together quickly one night when I got home from work.  Of course, my children wouldn't touch it because of the yummy snap peas, but my husband and I weren't too upset....there was more for us ;-)

Ingredients:

- 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
- 1/2 head of a small Napa Cabbage, roughly chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 3 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 bunch Green Onion, diced
- 1/2 bag of Snap Peas, cut on diagonal
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic
- 1 Box Rice Noodles

Directions:

1.  Start by chopping all your veggies and have them ready while you bring your chicken broth to boil.

2.  Toss in all your ingredients except for the noodles and begin to warm through.


3.  Once your veggies are tender, but still have a bit of a bite to the snap peas, add your noodles and chicken and cook until noodles are tender.

Here's the final product...

Very tasty and a fantastic twist on your boring old chicken noodle soup!  Try this one soon!  Enjoy!
