Lunch...

OK, so this doesn't look spectacular and isn't anything to rave about but today I made tuna hot dish with spinach linguine noodles, tuna in olive oil (we like the Starkist Selects in olive oil, they don't cost much more per can and they don't have broth in it like other tuna does, and broth can contain MSG and other things they don't have to label if they use the word broth) and it's made of a new cream of mushroom soup. Click on link if you're interested in checking out the ingredient list. If you usually use Campbell's you can get a can out and compare the ingredients. We love cream of mushroom soup in a lot of things. Over the last couple years, especially when Isaac got sick and was on special diets we avoided our usual recipes that called for it because those dishes were ones Isaac particularly liked and he couldn't have. Now, we think it gives some of us a headache because of the MSG in it and other things. Today, we tried Amy's brand. We have a Pacific foods in the pantry to try another time. The box is so small though I'm not sure what I'll make with it.

Tuna hot dish with carrot sticks.

The kids did like it and ate their whole helping gone! So, it will work as a substitute.

PS. We are tuna eaters. Since it is Lenten season my coupon inserts had $1.50 off if you buy 3 of the selects (the very ones we use) and it comes to more than 1 can free. Yesterday, I stocked up on 15 cans! I ordered 20 more coupons from ebay yesterday and will stock up on 60 cans of tuna if the stores have that many of the olive oil cans. I often buy 10 at a time and take all they have so we'll see what I find. The coupons cost less than $4 to buy and will save me $30 if I get to use them all! We don't eat tuna in a lot of things but like tuna sandwiches and tuna hotdish. I can't think of anything else we eat it with. Occasionally we eat it on top of a salad.
