This is the old tried and true, 1950's style tuna noodle casserole we remember as kids. Uses ingredients most people have on hand, especially those broken chips at the bottom of the bag that nobody wants to eat. Got to have those chips on top to be real.
Ingredients
- 1 package uncooked pasta shells , 16 ounce
- 2 cans tuna , 5 ounce
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup , 10.75 ounce
- 1 can condensed cream of celery soup , 10.75 ounce
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 4 slices processed American cheese
- 1.5 cups crushed potato chips

Boil pasta in lightly salted water for 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain well. Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in.

Easy Stroganoff
Valentine's Day is special for us because it is our wedding anniversary as well! Though this isn't a standard 'romantic' recipe, every time I prepare this dish the love flows freely! It is a way to show my husband I love him -- it is his favorite, but not mine. Every time I serve it my husband showers me with compliments, affection, and love because he knows it's my way of saying I love you any day of the week, not just Valentine's Day.

Overnight Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes
I find the taste of pure buckwheat pancakes too strong so I am using half all-purpose and half buckwheat flour. The pancakes can be served with syrup for breakfast, or like blinis with savory toppings such as smoked salmon and sour cream.
