This is a horrible picture of the fish but I've been asked (mom) to put pictures on.

Our Review: This was the first ever fish recipe I have tried. Besides fish sticks and tuna my family really didn't eat fish. This was VERY good! Not too fishy tasting, very tasty and easy. Mike, I and Brooke really like this, it will be going in our recipe box and being used again!

2 cans tuna (in water)
1 small can peas
1 can cream of celery soup (98% fat free)
1 can cream of mushroom soup (98% fat free)
Shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350.
Cook and drain noodles. Add all ingredients except cheese and mix together. Put mixture in a 13x9 dish and cover with shredded cheese. Heat in oven until cheese melts and heated through.

Our Review: This is an easy and oh so yummy dinner. I make a section without peas for Brooke but she loves the rest.

Tuna Cakes

I got this recipe from a magazine, not sure which one. I was hoping for an easier alternative to the salmon patties I make.

TUNA CAKES

Ingredients:
2 cans light tuna in water, drained and flaked
1 pkg. stove top stuffing for chicken (I used low sodium)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/3 cup mayonaise
2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
3/4 cup water


Mix all ingredients together.















Refrigerate for 10 min.

Heat large non-stick skillet & spray with cooking spray.

Shape mixture into patties, about 1/3 cup each.

Cook in skillet 6 min. or until golden brown on both sides, turning over carefully after 3 min.
















We served these with fried potatoes, macaroni & tomato juice and pears.


Our Review: These were ok (and we didn't have to find something else to eat) but we all agreed that they were too sweet tasting. This recipe will not be going into our recipe box. But I do think I'll try to doctor it up a bit and see what happens.
