Tuna Casserole

1 pkg. noodles (10 oz.)
1 lrg. can of tuna
1 can cream of chicken soup

Cook pasta. Add drained tuna and soup and 1/2 cup milk. It would probably be yummy to add mushrooms or peas. Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour.

Super easy, but very good and kid friendly.

Caramel Ice Cream Dessert

Hi Liv! Here it is, I usually make it the day before so it can freeze overnight. Enjoy!!

Caramel Ice Cream Dessert

2 C. flour
1/2 C. oatmeal
1/2 C. brown sugar
Combine above and add 1 C. chopped pecans and 2 sticks melted margarine.

Spread mixture on cookie sheet and bake @ 425 degrees for 10 minutes. When baked crumble while hot and let cool. (I use a metal spatula to break it into smaller pieces.)

Assemble by sprinkling half of cookie crumb mixture into 9"x13" pan.

Drizzle one jar caramel ice cream topping over crumbs.

Spread 1/2 gallon softened ice cream on top of crumbs. (I cut ice cream into slices and then spread it a little.)

Add rest of cookie crumb mixture.

Top with one jar caramel ice cream topping.

Freeze...
