So, as we are making our big move across the country in just a couple more weeks, our friends here in Colorado agreed to one more big family dinner before everything was packed. We cooked a huge turkey, made my corn casserole and yellow squash casserole, some amazing macaroni and cheese and steamed broccoli. We love these kind of get-togethers with friends and our children love playing together.
Of course, I made sure to take the opportunity to document both of my casseroles so I could share them with you. Of all of the dishes I make all year long, and boy do I have a lot of regulars that I love, these two are my absolute favorite. Many times I simply cook these two, and that’s what we have for dinner for a few nights, they are that good.
You know, with everything else being sold, packed, or scattered through the house, and our future being a little bit of an unknown, it’s nice to have some old faithful kind of dishes around. You know what I mean…those dishes that you have so often, and have been apart of your family for so long, that they taste like comfort and home, no matter where you are. These, I think, are going to be those kind of dishes that my children remember when they one day move out and have families of their own. Or at least I hope so.
And with as easy as they are to make, there’s no reason that they can’t be a family regular in your house as well. For us, these dishes say three houses and three states in the last ten years, two beautiful children and several we’ll meet in heaven one day, and having to leave a lot behind each time to find our dreams. Regardless of where we move, we still feel like we’re at home when we make these, and they help us remember all that we have been through as a family.
