Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

We love fresh tomatoes and tuna so I decided to stuff the tomatoes with a tuna mixture. They are very good right out of the oven, but they were also good cold when I packed them for lunch when we were away from home.

Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

5 small tomatoes - cut off the top and remove the insides
5 oz can tuna, drained
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp mustard
Seasonings desired - I used a small dash of salt, pepper, dill, Italian seasoning, garlic powder,
       onion powder, and chili seasoning

Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on a foil lined baking sheet. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture evenly into the tomatoes. Broil on the top rack for 6-8 minutes or until they are warm and the tomato tops are brown.
*  Serve warm or cold.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Simple Tuna Noodle Casserole

My husband wasn't eating dinner with us tonight, so I decided to make the girls a meal that I loved as a kid. My husband doesn't like tuna or tomatoes, so this is a perfect dinner for when he is not home. The girls couldn't get enough and we have now made it several times for lunches. Is it a bad thing when your husband is pickier than your kids?

Simple Tuna Noodle Casserole

1 box elbow macaroni, cooked
2 cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained
1 can peas
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can turkey gravy
1 cup safe bread crumbs or crushed safe potato chips

Combine the macaroni, tuna, peas, tomatoes and gravy. Transfer the mixture to a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Top with the bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Tuna Balls

My husband doesn't like tuna so the girls and I like to make these for our lunch. Tayana doesn't eat tuna either, but she loves these tuna balls. We like them the to make them with the dairy free margarine.

Tuna Balls

3 cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained
1 cup safe bread crumbs (I used this recipe)
3 tbsp melted dairy free margarine, oil or safe salad dressing

Thoroughly combine all of the ingredients until the mixture can be rolled, adding more bread crumbs as needed. Roll the mixture into 1” balls. Place them on a well sprayed foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and slightly crispy on the outside. If you have the time, flip the balls halfway through baking so they brown evenly. Serve warm or chilled.
