Try to make "perkedel tuna". canned tuna, drained and mixed with crushed potatoes (peel potatoes, then cut into approximately 3x3x3 cm sizes, then fry just until cooked) add garlic, shallots, pepper, salt and seasoning (optional). Then form an oval/round shape with a thickness of approximately 2-3 cm. You can fry it straight after dipping it in egg white…or store it as a frozen food. FYI: the ratio of tuna and potatoes can be 1:1 or 1:2.
This reminds me of my childhood! I loved meals like this and still ask my mom to make it once in awhile. We didn't have a ton of money but we had no idea. I have a sister and four brothers and we had an amazing childhood! Keep up the great work Mom!
Not bad but ngl i would have just gotten the cheapest noodles and splurged and gotten one of those huge bags of frozen chicken breasts. Love those because they come pre-frozen it's easy to get one out to defrost for a meal. If you get the biggest bag, the price per lb comparison to canned chicken is about as negligible as the price comparison between name brand noodles and store brand. But if the main point is saving time then a rotisserie chicken sits at basically the same price once you adjust for bones and skin.
One of the guests at a hotel i used to work at used to bring me dinner when i worked overnights, one time he brought me tuna pasta with mixed veggies and it was surprisingly good! Especially because he was an Iraqi soldier stationed here for training and couldn't being his wife along to cook for him ❤

That actually looks really good… add some greens and that’s not too bad of a dinner
My Mom always said you improvise and you do it well.
Try macaroni, tuna and peas. Really easy and cheap I just use the boxed Kraft Mac n’ cheese which works great
Why do u have 3 kids if ur low income, actually why do u have any kids at all if u cant even cook 🧍🏻
I'm sorry for your dinner
You can get more flavour out of the garlic if you mince them/cut them finer!

You did you thang on that one!❤
you know that house smelled like catfood for 12 hours
Try two spoon fresh cheese and 1/2 cup of water!
great work!
It needs some cream sauce would make it less dry imo
Looks dry maybe some kind of cream. Great job

Look up tuna casserole, a much better and affordable dish
