Gluten Free Dairy Free Tuna Casserole

This is an extremely versatile recipe.  You can easily customize it to your family’s taste.  If you don’t like tuna, you can use chicken instead.  The same is true of the veggies.  This recipe is great if you have trouble getting your kids to eat veggies on their own because the veggies are already in the casserole.  I will note that this recipe is great, as is, for kids, but you can always add seasoning and herbs to taste. I like to add thyme.
