The Secret Ingredient is Always Love
Proverbs 16:24, ESV
Asister is your very first best friend. Being that my best friend/sister and I live 1,417 miles apart we always try to find ways to stay connected. We have dedicated one Sunday out of the month to cook a dish together while on Facetime just catching up on what's new in our lives. The last dish we made was tuna casserole, a dish our mother made for us when we were younger. We encourage you to make this dish with a loved one and share quality time with one another.

4 cups Large Egg Noodles
1 Small Onion (diced)
⅓ cup Milk
⅔ cup Frozen Peas

Bread Crumb Topping
½ cup Bread Crumbs
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese (grated)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
