Hey everyone. This entire week, my plan for tonight has been to stay home and try out this tuna casserole recipe. I know, sounds kind of boring, but I've had a very rough week and all I wanted was some quiet time and comfort food!
My mom always made tuna noodle casserole for me when I was a kid, and though I still really like it, it doesn't really fit into my meal plans now. So ever since I stumbled upon this recipe in Eat Shrink and Be Merry, I have been tempted to try it. I have also come across a few message boards and blogs about this recipe book, and all of them seem to rave about this particular recipe.

Yum. I loved it. The original recipe does not specify whole wheat rotini, but I'm so used to using whole wheat pasta so that's what I grabbed.This is really creamy and cheesy and really, it tasted like it was incredibly high in calories. I'll be honest, I actually calculated the recipe myself, ingredient by ingredient to make sure I wasn't consuming more than the 349 calories per serving (as stated in the recipe book). I did give myself enough room to have 2 servings for dinner so it was a HUGE bowl, I ate 4 hours ago and I'm still stuffed.
