Inexpensive Dinner Idea
We rarely buy boxed anything, but there was a $1 sale on boxed Pasta Roni so I bought a box of the shells with white cheddar. I wanted a really quick meal one night and remembered that PastaRoni's website has a really cool dinner wizard where you select a bunch of ingredients that you have on hand and they give you some meal ideas. I use this even if I don't have their pasta or rice, just to get ideas. So it spit out a meal of tuna noodle casserole, which I changed some of the ingredients to, and ended up with a great dinner that was very cheap. $1 for the pasta and seasonings, plus $1 for the can of tuna fish, plus about $0.50 for the peas. The boys loved the meal and ate a good portion. I do not claim this meal is the healthiest, so if that is what you are looking for, bypass this recipe. I am still undecided about the health effects of tuna fish. It is something I do not touch while pregnant and we only eat it very few times throughout the year when I am not. But, if you are looking for a super quick and easy recipe, that tastes great, this would be it.
