  1. I have made this for aobut 20 years now exactly as your recipe calls for except i dont finish the cooking in the micorwave, i put it on a preheated 350 F oven for about 20 minutes. I also call it chicken surprise, surprise its not chicken. My # 3 daughter would cringe if i said it was tuna. Yes she ate it and still does and she asks mom is this "chicken surprise" Tina
     
  2. came together easliy. used tuna in olive oil, well drained. 1/3 sprinkled with cheese for the grandkids (2 and 4) 1/3 with a custard topping for kids, (30 and 31) 1/3 with added chilli and garlic and custard topping. very versatile recipe, and a keeper!
     
  3. I tried this recipe with green peas, which is not one of my favorite veggies, so I was hesitant to rate the recipe. I just felt that was fair since my personeal tastes shouldn't affect a rating. But, today I re-made the recipe and subbed the green peas with 1lb. fresh wilted spinach...which IS a favorite of mine. It was wonderful! I made no other changes. AND, tonight I used a serving of leftovers, added an egg and some cheese and made a fritata for dinner. OH MY!!, what a wonderful, versitile recipe. Had to give you a great rating, though I did have to alter it a bit. On versitility alone, it deserves 5 stars. Will freeze some portions now, and have a few more ready to go fritata dinners on hand. Thanks!
     
  4. Thanks for a fast recipe!! It comes in handy for those hectic days. I sampled it before I put it in the microwave, good stuff. I know that the kids are going to like this one. I used 16 ounces of noodles and 10 ounces of frozen peas. I put the peas in with the noodles the last minute of cook time to help them thaw. I cooked my noodles to al dente and mixed everything in a large bowl then poured it into the baking dish. I had NO problems with milk in the bottom of the dish in the end. Next time I make this I can see mixing some onions in the noodles and then add cheddar cheese on top. Oh YUM, I'm making this one again. I made this for *Fall PAC 2007* game.
     
  5. Super easy and lip smackin' good. To the recipe I've also added 3 cut-up hardboiled eggs, 3 sliced(1/4 ") green onions mixed in, and sprinkled with a cup of canned fried onions. Eat it with Ritz or Club crackers or crispy garlic bread. Yowsa...got myself hungry. I'm off to the kitchen!

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /><br />I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile!&nbsp; We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives.&nbsp; We are so proud of them!<br /><br />I want to say <strong>THANK YOU</strong>&nbsp; <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing />&nbsp; to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. <br /><br />I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT <br /><br />I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! <br /><br />My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. <br />My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! <br /><br />Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg
