CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME
This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.

HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA
Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

TUNA LOAF
I was looking for a tuna loaf recipe and found Carol Junkins 'Tuna Cakes~Flavors of Cape Cod.' I made few changes and additions, and on Carol's suggestion, here it is. Loaf will be on the dry side, since it's tuna and therefore, no fat, so you may want to serve with tartar sauce, a dill mayo, or any of your choice.
