Crunchy Tuna Casserole
This tuna casserole is one of my family’s favorite dishes. It is quick to throw together and inexpensive to make, so it also makes a great dish if you are expecting a crowd.  Most of the ingredients are ready to be mixed together and easily transferred into a casserole dish for a quick cook time. This recipe is very creamy and soft—and adding the potato chips gives it the perfect amount of crunch.  From Cully’s Kitchen to yours!

This recipe looked so good and easy I had to give it a try. It requires a sauce that can be put together in just a few minutes, and there is a good chance you will have all the ingredients on hand.

The original recipe served the chicken and sauce over rice, but I decided to serve it with hash brown patties instead.

For a simple recipe it turned out super good – give this one a try.

It is a great year for blueberries in upper Michigan this summer. I decided to put some of the berries to good use and put together these blueberry muffins. These blueberry muffins are moist and delicious.

I think I went overboard with the blueberries a little bit, but no matter they are so good; but 1 cup would be just right. I also used Splenda instead of sugar.
