One of the best things to happen for busy cooks recently is the line of cooking cremes from Kraft Foods. These cooking cremes are Philadelphia Creme Cheese products and make it simple for busy cooks to serve delicious dishes quickly. Here ia a recipe from the folks at Kraft for a tasty tuna casserole. Frankly, I don't eat tuna but my family thinks this is great.
1 tub (10-oz) Philadelphia Original Cooking Creme
2 cups egg noodles, cooked
2 cans (5-oz each) chunk light tuna in water, drained, flaked
1 cup frozen peas
1 can (4-oz) sliced mushrooms, undrained
8 Ritz Crackers, crushed (about 1/3 cup)
1 tbsp butter, melted
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in 1 1/2-qt. casserole; cover.
Bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix cracker crumbs and melted butter.
Stir casserole; top with crumbs. Bake, uncovered, 5 min. or until topping is golden brown.
Yield: 4 servings
This blog is for the harried cook, busy families, beginning cooks, anyone who needs or wants to get a simple meal on the table in 30 to 60 minutes. FORGET FEEDING YOUR FAMILY FAST FOOD AS A REGULAR DIET. Save fast food for an occasional treat and feed your family quick, healthy meals at home! Some recipes are original and some are ones I have collected over the years and found to be practical and tasty.

NESTLE'S MAGIC MINT CHOCOLATE BARK
1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) Nestles' Dark Chocolate And Mint Morsels
1/3 cup coarsely chopped oven roasted or toasted almonds
PREHEAT oven to 325° F. Line small baking sheet
with foil or parchment paper.
POUR morsels onto prepared baking
sheet. Arrange morsels so they are touching each other in a single layer
(roughly an 11 x 9-inch rectangle).
BAKE for 1 to 3 minutes or
until morsels are shiny. Morsels will retain their shape. Remove from oven to
wire rack. With tip of butter knife or wooden pick, immediately swirl morsels to
create a swirled pattern.
SPRINKLE with nuts. Hold baking sheet 3
inches above counter and drop to settle nuts into melted morsels. Refrigerate
for 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container in
refrigerator.
VARIATION: Substitute broken pretzel pieces or
another nut of choice for the almonds.
