At that age, you could be teaching her to prepare her own meals. I love to cook and I started sometimes cooking separate meals for myself around that age.
my mom often made tuna hotdish with chicken (or turkey) instead. subbing-in cream of chicken for the cream of mushroom. since no one but me and mom would eat it with the mushroom soup, it was 'better' for us that way, i guess. the 'real thing' was usually reserved for when it was just us two.

If I had to guess, that’s exactly how my youngest probably feels about it. 😂

My daughter's 14. We've given up trying to get her to eat anything we cook without asking her if she'll eat it first.

We are. It's more a matter of getting her to do it.

I agree, but it’s the clean up after that had me cook it for years.

I find that any recipe with tuna that I sort of liked, I loved when I replaced it with chicken. Maybe the younger one is the same?

Good idea. I’ll try it next time.

Oh man I feel your pain! I have two picky eaters at home and they have very different tastes.

We made tuna melts ourselves tonight, the 2 year old cleaned his plate which is unusual around here.

The recipe I grew up with was effectively baked kraft mac'n cheese with cream of mushroom/celery soup and tuna.
Bonus points for some crushed potato chips on top.
