LilBit tuna casserole on a budget

[kozar]

She loves this. We all know basic, cream o mush soup ,tuna etc
First tuna in oil,

I just replace the soup, with a jar of cheap ( we are on a budget) roasted garlic Alfredo pasta sauce, and a couple dollops of mayo, no milk needed. I may add a quarter cup of water if it looks dry.

And if I have on hand for the salads I eat, ( lost my stomach 11 years ago). toss a few crumbles of blue cheese on top of the plate.

Made a double batch of this Thursday ( total cost minus blue, 8 bucks). 3 Rubbermaid containers in fridge, LilBit through 2 and a half of them. Budget cooking, and just a bit of “ I wonder if” cooking

It’s a bit of a “road” for us right now. I’m truly thankful that I have LilBit by my side running through it. I have a focus point. And we offer our thoughts to you often also, we are all in this silly lil thing called life, Together

3. Even easier (no cooking required!):

the Italian what-everyone-already-has-in-the-pantry:
a can of tuna
a can of chickpeas
a piece of mozzarella:

drain, rinse (where appropriate), chop; dress with s+p, oil and a touch of vinegar: major yum.

YES or course you could add fresh basil -- or sun dried tomatoes -- etc -- but the point is: it's yummy even if you don't !!!

4. Sounds yummy

If only LilBit would eat cold food.

5. If you want a little occasional change up...

the most frequent cheap meal for my roommate and I when I was young was tunamato casserole: mac n cheese with tuna and a can of drained diced tomatoes mixed together just on the stove top.

Fixed it for my husband years ago and he likes it so asks for it once in a while.
