Homemade Tuna Helper

Homemade Tuna Helper

Heh, I think I will call this concoction "Tina Helper." I went to make dinner last night and was tired and didn't feel like doing anything fancy so went to grab a box of tuna helper. I happened to be out of both tuna AND helper. Yikes! What to do? Didn't feel like coming up with something else, so I improvised:

- this dish tasted great with a pouch of salmon. Chicken of the Sea brand. Not a can, but a pouch. It breaks up into nice, finely sized pieces.
- 2 cups of water
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 1 pouch of - are you ready for this 'cuz it's the secret ingredient: Lipton Cup o' soup, chicken noodle variety. The kind that you are supposed to mix 3 cups of water with.
- a little added pasta. I used shells but you can throw in whatever. I don't know how much, I know how much to use without measuring. Maybe 1-2 cups.
- a little bit of flour, to help it thicken. A couple teaspoons or so.

Cook just like you would regular Helper! Dump it all in a skillet and cook on med, stirring often, til the pasta is soft and it's starting to thicken up.

Did you know blueberries are considered brain food? Eating more blueberries has been shown to improve memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It that is not a good enough reason, blueberries are packed with more antioxidants than almost any other fruit.
