Quick and Easy Summer Recipe

I have a picky picky family, and my culinary skills are pretty, well, limited, but this dinner is always a hit. My mom made this whenever we picnicked as kids, and we eat it now pretty much all Spring and Summer long, at least once a week. Quick, easy, healthy, and cheap! Yeah!!

Tuna Macaroni Salad

Boil as much elbow macaroni (or spiral, whatever your family likes) as your family needs, and at the same time boil 4-5 eggs. Drain it off and pop it in the fridge for a bit. Once everything is cooled down, add in 1 can tuna fish, 1 cup mayo (more or less depending on the amout of macaroni you used), your boiled eggs (now chopped up), and a cup of frozen peas. Mix it all up well and enjoy. You've got pleny of protein, your carbs, and your veggies. Pair it up with some fresh fruit and you're all set! The whole meal is maybe $3.oo and everyone's happy! Enjoy!
