Recipe | Mimi's Tuna Macaroni Salad

Tuna Macaroni Salad

      The other day my daughter Stephenie brought her son Ryan over for me to babysit in the morning.   I asked her if I made some Tuna Macaroni Salad if she would like to have some for lunch and take the rest home--- she said, "yes please!"

      I was a single mom for 12 years, and in the summertime I made a lot of my mother's recipe of Tuna Macaroni Salad.  I don't make it very often now because my hubby and son don't like it as much as we do.  lol

      I also made a batch of brownies for Stephenie's husband Steven.   Apparently, Steven likes the salad too.  He had some at dinner-time.

                       Summer is going by too quickly.  It's almost August already, and Erich will be going to band camp.  I'm hearing ads for back-to-school sales!  I don't even want to think about that.  Erich doesn't go back to school until after Labor Day weekend.  I'm hoping to squeeze in a few fun activities before then.
