Broccoli in black bean sauce

Take a couple of cups of the cold black bean recipe from the fridge and put it in a food processor along with one tbls of corn starch. Let that sit until you're ready for it. Saute' a couple of cups of broccoli florets along with some chopped red onion and some carrot sticks in some olive oil. Run the food processor until the beans are chopped up good and the cornstarch is mixed in well. Then pour this into the hot pan of veggies until it thickens. Veggies should be tender but crisp. Serve over hot rice.

Lip smackin' Tuna casserole

I think most people have their own recipes for tuna casserole, but this tasted so good I just had to share. I apologize in advance for not giving exact measurements, but nobody I know uses them and I never have. I'll give you a rough idea, but it tastes better when you go with the flow.

O.K. let's get started with some macaroni (about 2 lbs. ) cooked and strained.

A couple large cans of tuna strained well.

one medium onion chopped

8 oz. package or more if you like of sauteed mushrooms. ( NO THEY DON'T COME SAUTEED YOU HAVE TO DO THAT YOURSELF! I hear you out there.

one medium size bag of frozen spinach / some may prefer frozen peas, no problem

I like a lot of cheese. Let me say that up front. I like sharp cheddar cheese, grated, about three cups. Then just to go nut's add some Parmesan. I refuse to get involved in the cheese war about real Parmesan vs. the dry stuff.

I make a sauce for this with Ranch dressing, sweet vidalia onion dressing, miracle whip, and about a cup of milk and two eggs. Mix all this together and pour over all other ingredients after you have combined them.

Put this in the oven (about 375 ) until nice and bubbly. This is a great dish to make the day before you are going to eat it because it gets gooder the next day. ENJOY!!!
