Baked Macaroni

Its the BF's birthday today.  Since we cannot celebrate it together, (Darn LDR!) I decided to make one of his favorite dishes (sabi nya!) -- BAKED MAC.  Traditionally, you use chicken for this.  But since i'm starting to be health conscious, hehehe, i substituted tuna for the chicken.

I hope all of you will enjoy my version of baked mac as much as my family enjoyed it!

Happy Birthday BEE!!!
