Tuna Casserole

Could be one of the simplest recipes to date!!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 12 oz can tuna (I used chunk light)
  • 6oz whole wheat egg noodles (half of a bag)
  • 6-7 oz cheddar cheese with dill
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Cook noodles as directed. Drain.
  2. While noodles are cooking, melt cheese along with salt and pepper
  3. Add in milk slowly, stirring into cheese until it is a creamy consistency (it may be a bit lumpy, but should be thickish)
  4. Add in tuna to cheese, stir.
  5. Place cheese/tuna mixture into noodles and toss.
  6. Garnish with parmesan if you desire.


I cube up the cheese into tiny cube to help it melt faster


The cheese was soft and starting to melt so I added about half the milk and stirred constantly.


When all the milk is incorporated add in tuna, stir


Toss noodles with cheese/tuna, stir well and top with parmesan


A close up of the goodness!


We plated this up with a broccoli and cauliflower mix. YUM

Grilled Ahi Tuna and Bacon Wrapped Scallops

I love, love seafood....here is a quick, simple seafood dinner that is healthy and delicious!!






*Citrus based (non oil) dressing
*Teriyaki sauce
*Ahi Tuna filet
*Large Scallops
*Turkey Bacon (I cut mine in half lengthwise)
*Veggies
*Salt and Pepper to taste
*Butter or cooking spray for grill

  • Marinate the Tuna in a bag or glass bowl with lid with the dressing and 2-3 tbsp of teriyaki sauce.  The longer you marinate the better. 
  • I used metal skewers to hold the bacon strips around the scallops

  • Grill scallops for approximately 7 mins on one side and 3 on the other season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Tuna will grill in less time, about 3-4 minutes each side

  • Serve with steamed veggies or rice


DELISH!
