Tuna Patties for 2

Often it's just my husband and me for lunch - here’s a quick way to turn a small can of tuna into a meal for 2. Choose whatever kind of canned tuna you like, in oil or water (the tuna canned in oil has more of the fat-soluble vitamins), but don’t choose expensive solid-pack, it’s harder to get it to stick together for patties. I put the saltines in a plastic sandwich bag and crush them. Don’t overcook these, they’ll get too dry. I occasionally add a little snipped up fresh parsley if I have it, or a few leaves of fresh spinach, shredded finely for color and vitamins.
Serve with any sides you like, buttered potatoes or noodles, a cooked vegetable and/or salad, whatever is as quick as these delicious patties.  These are my husband's favorite way to enjoy tuna, especially with Noodles with Cracker Crumbs or a baked potato as one of the sides.
