HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA
Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

- Add some vegetables to the dish. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Good choices include peas, carrots, and celery.
- Serve the dish hot. Creamed tuna on a shingle is best served hot, so it is important to cook it just before serving.
