Tuna Casserole

TUNA CASSEROLE

I used to think that canned tuna was to be prepared by adding mayonnaise, seasonings, and stirring it up in a bowl. It was the most convenient meal to make when I didn't feel like cooking. However, since I have evolved in my home cooking ability, I couldn't just look at these cans of tuna in the cabinet and not give them the attention they truly deserve. 

LOL...

Tuna, for a long time to me, has always been perceived as just a straight out of the can type of meal. 

Did you know that tuna has a few health benefits? 

It is high in protein, has almost no fat, filled with amino and omega 3 fatty acids. For some it makes a really good meal on the go as a sandwich or salad. But it is helpful to know recipes that are quick and easy to make with certain canned foods. 

Recently I created this concept and presentation of tuna that was very simple to make. 

Enjoy!
