Tuna on Toast

1 cube butter
1/2 cup flour

stir over medium heat until sizzling

2 cups milk
2 cups water

pour in with butter stirring occasionally until sauce thickens

1 can cream of chicken soup
3 cans tuna

Cook up some toast, and top with sauce!
I served with mixed vegetables! Kids like to mix their veggies into the sauce! Makes it go down better for them:)

Cabbage and Kabasa Soup


This is a great inexpensive meal!


Tonight I made a cabbage soup with Kabasa! I didn't actually have enough Kabasa so i substituted Little Smokies!!! NUMMY




8 cups water


11 beef bouillon cubes


1 1/2 heads cabbage


6 carrots


5 diced potatoes


2 package Kabasa ( like I said I substituted 1 1/2 packages Little Smokies)




So simple!!! first you put the water and the bouillon cubes into a large pot, on medium. Then, you just chop the chop the cabbage into large pieces, because it shrinks, Chop up the carrots, potatoes, and kabasa into nice sized pieces, and add it all to the pot! I let it cook for about 1 1/2 hours.


While it was cooking I threw together a loaf of bread in my bread machine! Ohhh! It was so good! And a nice warm meal for a cool night!

3 full carrots i added these, and shredded them with my cabbage( pretty much the same as my egg roll recipe, which i will try to post this weekend)
I also added 2 cloves of garlic for flavor!

Brown hamburger with onions. Drain. Salt and pepper to taste. Add cabbage to hamburger mixture and steam until cabbage is done. Place half of the crescent rolls in the bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan to form bottom crust. Put cabbage and hamburger mixture on top and then add cheese and cover all with the remaining crescent rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Cover with foil the last 10 minutes so the rolls don't burn.
