Exchange: Recipes for Links – All Moms welcome!
We’ve added something new to the Retreat Community Cookbook. I’m asking all you Moms to open up your recipes boxes and send me your recipes. If you have a story that goes with you recipe – like the recipe’s origin (Great Aunt Sadie – lol), that you could include with it that would be published along with your recipe in our Retreat Community Cookbook.
I am putting out a call for your recipes! Submit your recipes to Lauren, Your Retreat Coordinator. For 1-2 recipes, please include your name and website link (if you have one you’d like to promote). If you submit 3+ recipes or a complete meal menu please include a 2-3 line description with your name and website link.
I have always envisioned the Retreat Cookbook to be like one of those Community Cookbooks you see on sale through your church, or community 
. Thus, the name Retreat Community Cookbook. Every recipe from every Mom is a contribution to it’s pages.
For any website, or blogging Moms, there is also an offer to include a link to your website/blog with your recipe when it is posted. Doesn’t have to be a food related blog/site either. I just want to show my appreciation for your contribution. I thank you in advance.

Dear Lauren,
Hello, I am writing to tell you what an idea you have with this website, you go girl! I also wanted to give you a recipe I thought your website could offer to others that may visit the sight, this recipe is one that my family loved while growing up.
The recipe idea came from a desire to make a meal that was tasty and inexpensive to make, my husband was laid off from work at the time and I was trying to make our budget stretch and I had a desire for Tuna casserrole an entre` my husband hated. I doctored up the traditional casserole he loathed and now he enjoys my version of the classic casserole.
Mary’s Tuna Casserole
Ingredients:
2 cans tuna packed in water
1 small onion
2 pieces celery chopped
1 large carrot diced small
1 Tb. Tarragon spice
1t. Natures Seasoning
2Tb. Butter
1 package Noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
Grated Parmesan/Ramono Cheese
Instructions:
(Boil water for noodles and follow package instructions)
Meanwhile melt butter in sauce pan on medium heat, add chopped onions and carrots and celery. Let saute` for about 10 minutes stirring constantly, add drained rinsed tuna (make sure tuan is drained very dry) saute with vegetables and seasonings for about 15 minutes or until tuna is golden brown but not burnt. (it may need more butter-use your judgement). Once meat and vegetables are cooked add mixture to cooked noodles and add soup mex well and place in a glass baking dish-sprinkel with cheese and heat in oven until cheese is a nice golden brown. approx 20 minutes @350*. Enjoy!
Thanks so much Mary! I’ve also given your recipe it’s own post in the Retreat Community cookbook at http://momsonlineretreat.com/cookbook/2009/01/15/marys-tuna-casserole/ – looks YUMMO!
