About Kate:
She's my mother, and she's been an inspiring role model for both me and my sisters.
About Kate's Tuna Noodle Casserole:
My mom's mother (also pictured) was from England, and my mom's father was from Italy. My mom stayed at home to care for me and my sisters - which is a huge feat considering we're all just over a year apart in age.
She often found recipes that were simple, that you could throw together in one go. We came to love casseroles, and now they are a part of our family traditions, even on Christmas morning (with our annual Egg Casserole).
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Bowtie Pasta (or other medium noodles)
1 can of tuna (drained)
1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1-10.5 oz can of creamy soup (like Cream of Celery, Cream of Chicken, or Cream of Mushroom)
1/2 cup of milk
1 cup shredded sharp American cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Cook noodles and drain. Combine everything into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Yum!
