Friendship - The Two-Way Street That Wasn't

This quote, sent to me by a dear friend last week, rings so true for me lately.  She sent it to me after a long discussion about friendships and family relationships, and how they grow and change as we get older.

Wait, maybe I need to re-phrase that.  Not necessarily how friendships/relationships grow and change, but how our views of those relationships change with the wisdom of age and experience.  

New Look - New Goals :)

New Look - New Goals!

Welcome back to The Lazy Gourmet Blog.  And Happy Spring!!

I hope you will enjoy our new look and our updated mission.  Yes, I will keep the quick and easy recipes coming, cuz we all have to eat you know!  

But, as I enter this Spring having recently turned 40, I suddenly have a lot of clarity about not only what I want for my life and who I want (and don't want) in it, but also the lessons my life has taught me are becoming clearer.  Things I thought were just bumps in the road or heartaches along the way, have taught me so much about myself and have made me into the person I am today. 

Tuna & Pasta Cheddar Casserole

Tuna & Pasta Cheddar Casserole

I have had a request for a quick and easy tuna casserole.  Although personally not a fan of tuna, I have made this one before and I have to admit that even this non-tuna fan enjoyed it!  Must have been the cheese! *wink*

Ingredients

- 3 cups uncooked rotini pasta
- 3 cups water
- 1 can condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1 can solid white tuna in water, drained
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp melted butter or margarine

Directions

- preheat oven to 375F
- in large pot, boil pasta in 3 cups of water until just tender. DO NOT DRAIN
- add soup to pasta & water and stir well to combine
- pour pasts/soup mixture into 2 qt (2L) casserole dish
- gently stir in flaked tuna
- sprinkle with cheddar and parmesan cheese
- top with mixture of bread crumbs and melted butter
- bake at 375F for 20 minutes

*Serves 4.

Enjoy!
