About Me

Hi all, and welcome to The Comer Experience. Howdy, we are John and Gena. Gena is born and raised in Southern Oklahoma. John is a military brat, raised in New York for his first few years. He spent 5 years in Okinawa, Japan before moving to Oklahoma. Both of us have been married before, and have finally found our comfort in each other since 1999. We got married on July 4, 2006, and it makes Independence Day something much better to celebrate. We have hit a point in our life together that now we want to share our experiences with everyone. We want to take you on a trip through the everyday lives of our family. We have started this blog to give people a look into what our family enjoys, and goes through. You will see some great cooking from John, who learned from helping his mother in the kitchen. With his mix of Italian and Irish background he enjoys experimenting and making great food. We will also take you on our journey into learning photography and we would love to hear your critiques on our pictures. All and all we hope you enjoy your journey with us and can laugh and learn from our experiences. Enjoy and lots of fun, John & Gena #TheComerExperience

Cold Tuna Noodle Casserole

Hey everyone, this is another recipe my mom has made since I can remember.  Normally a lunchtime favorite, but can be an easy dinnertime meal too.  If your not a canned tuna fan you can substitute canned chicken both work and taste equally well.  This steps up  macaroni salad from a side into a meal.




Ingredients:

  • 1lb Elbow Macaroni
  • 2-5oz cans Tuna
  • Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Black Olives
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Green Olives 
  • 2 Celery Stalks Diced
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Diced Tomato
  • 1 Diced Cucumber Seeded
  • 3 Diced Pickle Spears Seeded
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Paprika


Directions:
   
      Start by boiling your pasta according to package directions.  While that process is going on chop, slice and dice your veggies and place them in a large bowl.  Drain your tuna or chicken in a metal strainer and add to veggies braking up any large pieces.  When pasta is cooked drain in a colander, and run cold water over to stop cooking process & start cooling the noodles down.  You want your pasta to be cold.  Make sure it is drained well, and add to the veggie bowl; mix everything well.  Now add about a cup of Mayonnaise, or Miracle Whip to start. If this gets the wet consistency you like then stop if not add a heaping tablespoon at a time until you like the look. Plate it up add salt & pepper to taste, and top with paprika.

Hope you enjoy, John
