As a busy working mom on a budget, 2 criteria that I need for mealtime in our house are 1-It needs to be QUICK and 2-It needs to be CHEAP. (Of course healthy is important too.) One recipe that I've used a couple of times and LOVED is Kraft's recipe for Tuna Cakes.
Maybe some of you cringed when you read that...but trust me, it's worth a try. I personally am a fan of tuna, however my husband is not. Even so, he will chow down on this recipe!
This is one of the easiest, cheapest recipes I've ever made, AND it makes a TON which I love even more because we can have the leftovers for lunch the next day. (2 meals for the price of 1!!) The recipe calls for tuna (duh), Stove Top Stuffing Mix, mayo, relish, cheddar cheese and carrot. (most of which you may already have in your fridge or pantry!) The best part is, for those who aren't huge tuna fans, the stuffing mix totally overpowers the tuna taste so you don't even realize that you're eating tuna.

I've made them with and without the carrots, and have also changed it up and used corn bread stuffing mix rather than the chicken flavored that is suggested. I think no matter what you do to this recipe it will still be good! I've been brainstorming different things to add in to make it even tastier. You have GOT to give it a try!
Enjoy your Monday!
