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!

CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST
When we were kids, my mother was on a shoe string budget. By the end of the week the cupboards were getting bare and she would have to throw something together for us to eat. This was usually what she would throw together. Its quick and easy and most kids love it if they like tuna! Even my husband and my son enjoy this one!
