Tuna Twist Casserole

So, tonight I suffered my first "semi-dissappointment" in the kitchen. I found a recipe in a Eating Light magazine. It was simple to make though, which is a plus. I altered it just a bit because I do not like peas, but I added diced mushrooms instead. (If you want the recipe...let me know.)

So, the recipe called for crushed corn flakes...I didn't have these, so I used bread crumbs instead...and that's where I think I went wrong. I should have used less bread crumbs (obviously the measurements for cornflakes are not equal to breadcrumbs) for sure. I thought it seemed like a lot as I was placing them on top of the casserole, but I just poured them all on. I definitely should have followed my instincts! They did not brown correctly and I didn't want to leave it in the oven forever. So, the texture of the final dish was kind of off.

How did it taste? Eh...this time I give it a 6 out of 10. Would I make it or eat it again? Well, I'm making myself eat the leftovers so I don't waste food...but honestly...probably...it was easy and pretty healthy...and if I fixed the topping, I think I would like it more.

My next plan is to try one of Rachael Ray's recipes. I received her newest cookbook from my student staff (aren't they awesome!?), and I have been going through it lately...so that post will be coming soon!
