peach butter,...tuna bake

I have been busy in the kitchen. It is almost the end of peach season. I made some peach butter ; 5 -half -pints and 1 pint.

Next I made Tuna Bake, which is a recipe from 1967 Silver Spoon Cookbook ,that the Kansan put out in that year.

Tuna Bake
Mrs. Earl Hedstrom

1 package macaroni and cheese, cooked
3 Tablespoon butter, soft ( I used margarine)
1 cup tomatoes ( I used yellow tomatoes)
1/2 cup milk
2 Tablespoons onion, minced
1 egg
1 can tuna ,drained
2 Tablespoons parsley, snipped or dried
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons corn flakes crumbs

Add all ingredients to cooked macaroni and cheese. Place in 1-quart casserole and bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

This recipe is pretty easy to make and doesn`t take no time in preparation. The macaroni and cheese probably could from left-overs.This is good for left-over for the next night as well.
