Tuna Noodle Casserole

I know some people think that Tuna Noodle Casserole isn’t for them, or that in belongs in a 1980s time capsule from middle America, but reader… those people are wrong.  This is a meal that can turn grey skies blue.  It’s not an everyday meal, as it isn’t full of the most healthy ingredients, but man does it taste good.  You’ll find that most of my recipes are more about flavor and comfort than counting calories.  Most of the ingredients do have low calorie/sodium/fat counterparts, but a lot gets lost in the translation when you try to cut back, my suggestion would be to eat it at the full level but in moderation (if moderation is possible after your first bite… maybe just don’t worry about it, you’re beautiful just the way you are)
