As a child my parents and brother and I would go over to my grandparents house, a little over an hour away, for Thanksgiving. I can remember the smell my grandfather's pipe and watching the balloons in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv. I can hear my mom and grandmother putting all the delicious food on the table and I can't wait to dig my fork into grandma's SPINACH CASSEROLE!
Now that I'm married and have children of my own we have Thanksgiving at our house and I make my grandmother's SPINACH CASSEROLE. Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago and my husband's cousin asked everyone at the table if we would like to share any holiday traditions that our families had. I was able to share the story behind the spinach casserole they each had on their plates and I told them that I would forever make it in remembrance of my grandmother.
Susan then asked my dad if he remembered having this spinach casserole as a child. He said "Oh yeah!" He also added that they had it on other occasions too, not just Thanksgiving.
I do not have the recipe as it's in my head. My mom has it and she keeps telling me that if I want it she can give it to me but I'd just as soon make it as I remember it. It consists of chopped spinach, cream of mushroom soup, hard boiled eggs, cheddar cheese and bread crumbs layered about 2-3 times and the put in the oven for about 45 minutes.
Happy Thanksgiving (a little late) everyone!
