A new year has come to my favorite food blog... unfortunately it has taken me quite a while to get around to updating. Reflecting on the last year I see that I've averaged about 3 posts per month, which isn't quite the one post per week the I was shooting for. Resolutions aren't really my thing, but hopefully I'll get inspired to make some more posts in this new year.
The weather around Seattle has not been nearly as extreme as in other parts of the country, but it is definitely winter here... gray and wet. What better time to sit down to a nice comforting casserole? We didn't eat a lot of casseroles in my house growing up, they're something I've come to love in my later years. Christie has probably been an influence concerning that since casseroles were a normal occurrence in her home growing up.
I'm usually prone to use the recipe you can find on the Campbell Soup website for tuna noodle casserole when I'm in the mood for some old school comfort food, but this recipe caught my eye in one of the many cooking magazines that make their way to our house. There have been a lot of terrible puns going through my head about spicing things up with this recipe, but I think I'm going to leave that alone for now. I did receive three new cookbooks for Christmas though, so hopefully some new and exciting things will be coming through here soon...
