Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Tuna and Rice Casserole

I know casseroles may have a bad reputation for being old-fashioned and boring but this casserole is anything but. Lemon juice and luscious slices of tomato keep this dish fresh and exciting. It is light summertime fare that will fuel your body and make your family happy.

Ingredients
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 (7 oz) can chunk light tuna, water-packed, drained
Juice of 1/2 large lemon
1 T chopped fresh green onion
2 T mayonnaise
1/4-1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
1 large tomato sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Combine rice, tuna, lemon juice, green onion, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Place tuna mixture in a lightly greased casserole dish. Top with tomato slices, salt and pepper, and shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Makes 4-6 servings.
