"1970s recipe taken from a box of Rice Crispies cereal. I was a fairly new cook back then and I always made some kind of casserole when my in-laws came to visit. They said they especially liked this crunchy tuna recipe!!"

My kids would laugh if they saw the title I chose - Chef Hall. When my son was in elementary school, he told me cafeteria food was better than my cooking. Of course, he took peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school every day to eat IN THE CAFETERIA! Cooking is not my favorite thing to do but I do love to READ recipes. My children are adults and have done well in their choice of vocations. My daughter is a CPA (Senior Accountant for Chickasaw Nation Industries), and my son and his wife are both lawyers. Needless to say, if I should get into trouble (and there is always that possibility!!), I will be well taken care of.
