Tuna Casserole
I’ve been with my husband for awhile now and when we first moved in together he told me about one of his favorite dinners growing up was his mom’s tuna casserole. Once he told me that I had to contact my mother-in-law and get the recipe. I made it for his birthday that year and he was so happy to have this comfort food again that he stuffed himself!
