WEEKLY RECIPES: TOMATO BASIL MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH LIGHT TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



I have been waiting to make a recipe with the basil from my garden. My favorite salad in the summertime contains tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella cheese. The name is basically what it contains. I usually use about 8 small tomatos, 1 chopped onion, fresh mozzarella in water, salt, pepper, garlic and basil to taste. Toss with olive oil + balsamic vinegar and serve cool.


Tuna Noodle Casserole is one of those comfort foods that makes you feel like all is right in the world- especially if it is lower fat! This tuna noodle casserole contains half a bag of yolk free noodles, 2 cans of low fat cream of celery soup, chopped onion and stalk of celery, handful of fresh parsley, and 3 packs of tuna fish. Mix all ingredients with 1/2 cup skim milk, place in a greased 13X9 inch pan. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and cook for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
