Family dinners were a BIG deal growing up. Since I can remember, my Mom had dinner on the table at 5 o’clock every night. While mom cooked, my sister and I would set the table. All five of us would then gather around the table, bless the food and dig in. During dinner, we chatted about the day, homework, church activities, etc.

This Tuna Casserole is something I’ve been enjoying for a long time. Throughout the years, as I whip up this dish, I’m always reminded of family dinners. Be that as it may, it’s now comfort food at it’s finest.

Maybe peas aren’t your thing, so serve witha vegetable of choice. However, my recipe card says to serve with peas and apple sauce — so peas and apple sauce it is. Plus, you get both your fruits and vegetables. Boom!

    My mom used to put the peas IN the tuna casserole. I wasn’t a big fan of that as I am not a fan of peas.
    When I saw your photo I immediately though – to pea, or not to pea, that is the question.

    Would this work with cream of celery? My husband hates mushrooms and my daughter doesn’t eat chicken. Thanks!
