Thank you, Nicolle.

The love for mac and cheese knows few demographic boundaries - nearly everyone places it near the top of their favorite comfort food's list. (Get the recipe at www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=127534.)

Nicolle's then asked if I had a recipe for a low-fat tuna noodle casserole. Boy do I!

Nicolle struck a personal comfort-food chord: Tuna noodle casserole's been a favorite since I was a kid. My grandmother, Edna Haynes, made a dandy version with sour cream in the sauce and crumbled potato chips for a crust. Yum!
