Non-Dairy Tuna Casserole Recipe

I'm TRYING to eliminate dairy from my diet but it has not been easy. I would like the whole family be fit and healthy so I'm trying to create healthier meals without losing great taste.

My family really likes my tuna casserole. Tuna Casserole is an acquired taste, as most people only eat tuna in tuna salad sandwiches. My dillema has always been finding an alternative to cow's milk in order to produce a creamy base instead of using cream of chicken or cream of mushroom. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. Just a few adjustments to the menu and BAM!

Here's my recipe:

2 cups Almond Milk
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
3 Tbsp. Kosher Potato Startch or Flour
3 cans of Tuna
1/2 cup Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock or Water
3 cups cooked Pasta
1 can of Peas
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper


Use the almond milk, olive oil,  and garlic powder to create the base. Bring to a boil and let simmer. Add the Potato startch or flour to thicken up the sauce. Blend ingredients in a mixer, then put back in sauce pan. Add chicken/vegetable stock or water if sauce is too thick. Add salt and pepper. Once you like the consistency of the sauce, add the tuna, peas and pasta.

Try it and let me know how you tweaked the recipe, if you needed to!

Enjoy!

Forgot I Even HAD a blog site...smh

Wow!!!!

Life has definitely kept me busy. It's been about 2.5 years since I've posted to this blog. I wonder if anyone has even read what I have posted. My daughters are now 7 and 4 years old....one finishing up the 2nd grade and the youngest transitioning to Kindergarten (Special Ed). There have definitely been challenges in balancing life while my husband is "out of town" but, I am handling business like a grown woman should. Praise be to God for giving me the strength to handle everything I have on my plate.

Since my last post I have opened  and closed (going mobile now) my own private Salon Studio called Pressed & Polished. I went to phlebotomy school and obtained my California state phlebotomy license (CPT1), got a Fire Card, MAB (Management of Assault Behavior) Certification, work in a newly established accute care hospital near Compton/Los Angeles on a per diem basis and hopefully will be working per diem at another well established accute care medical facility in the near future. I have completed a Medical Terminology class and currently completing me pre-requisites for the RN/BSN program.

Oh! I'm an Uber driver whenever I have the time.... LOVE it!

I taught myself how to crochet last summer. I feel like a professional now....lol.

Getting started on my 2nd online bible study class with #Proverbs31.org .... love it! The first bible study was with a book called "Keep it Shut". This time the book is called "The Husband Project". This bible study will be interesting. It starts on June 20th. Sign Up!

I shall post more often since I now remember I have a blog...ha!
