This recipe is highly undervalued! This recipe came from a great cookbook I bought in a fundraiser years ago (thanks, 4-H mom, for posting as I am away from my cookbook).I like it because it is packed with calcium, protein, and fiber, and it is also economical. You can use the less expensive tuna or Albacore if you have it. Both work. If your kids (or significant other) are fussy about cottage cheese, just don't let them see it when you cook. You would never guess it's in there. I improve this recipe by doubling the bread cubes--it's okay to use stale-- and I top the bread cube layer with jalapenos (the pickled kind which are not too spicy) . Since I live in California where fresh broccoli is easy to come by, I typically cut up a bunch, including the peeled stalk which is the best part, and then pre-cook it a bit in the microwave or steamer.

Hi! My name is Terri. I have been happily married for 28 years to Jim. We have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. I have a grandaughter, Delilah. She is 18 months old. We live in a rural area. We are animal lovers. We have 8 dogs, 6 cats, 2 rabbits and we have lots of ducks and geese. I love to cook and love to try new recipes. My favorite cookbook is an old Betty Crocker Cookbook that I have had before I was married. I like to sew, crochet and to do crafts. I am a 4-H Club Leader and I have a great group of kids this year. They keep me very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We do 3 fairs in the area. I also like to go to auctions, yard sales and I am always buying items from the kids that they are selling to raise money for school, church or a youth group. <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap3.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> imghttp://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> [img]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg[/img]
