Green Bean Casserole

 I don't exactly know where this dish started but I can honestly say for the past 30 years it has been on many holiday tables.  I would be remiss if I were to leave this simple , but yummy "green beany" "oniony" goodness out of the holiday recipe list.

What You Need
1 1/2 Lbs fresh green beans
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp soy sauce
Dash ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups French Fried Onions
1 ½ Qt casserole dish

Before You Start: Preheat oven to 350 ° Cooke green beans until tender

Lets Make It! In the casserole dish combine soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions and stir well. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling. Stir the bean mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining onions. Bake for 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.

Katies Tid Bits* Use 1 bag (16 to 20 oz.) frozen green beans, thawed, or 2 cans (about 16 oz. each) green beans, drained if you do not have fresh green beans available.

Give Thanks

Thanksgiving

One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving.

The simple definition of Thanksgiving is: “The fourth Thursday of November, observed as a legal holiday in the United States to commemorate the feast held at Plymouth in 1621 by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the Wampanoag people and marked by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.

The second Monday of October, celebrated in Canada by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.”

My definition is: "A day filled with expressions of gratitude shared with family and friends. Preparing and then indulging in a feast that sends you to the couch for a nap immediately after eating. A day filled with Laughter, making Memories and Prayer. A sincere day of THANKS! "

Retailers seem to start the holiday season at Halloween and jump to Christmas with hardly a mention of Thanksgiving. Is it the forgotten holiday? I hope not. I hope in a sense we celebrate a day of thanks every day. But, I don’t want to loose the traditional day of thanks. For me, my friends and family I hold tight to Thanksgiving.

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with only good things and good food.
